Economic blitzkrieg? (E1569)

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss US Attorney General Bill Barr having accused China of “economic blitzkrieg” – that is, “an aggressive, orchestrated, whole-of-government – indeed, whole-of-society – campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the United States as the world’s pre-eminent superpower.” Is that what happened? Or did US corporations willingly and actively send US manufacturing capacity to China?

In the second half, Max interviews financial journalist Ran Neuner about his observations on the pandemic-hit economy in Manhattan, where shops are boarded up and shared workspaces are empty. They also compare the response in the US to that in other countries around the world.
