Blog on what underlie the financial markets
It is in human nature to evolve continuously. The world changes and we develop ideas for solutions.
Today, the pace of change is accelerating explosively, driven especially by AI and made necessary by challenges such as climate change. At the same time, long-standing and entrenched structures for trade are being challenged as new empires emerge and seek to undermine the foundations of the old. This puts pressure on previously static institutions like the Bretton Woods system, free trade organizations, and globalization mechanisms such as the WTO. It also challenges our understanding of money itself, and the systems we use to settle transactions — including SWIFT and the rise of CBDCs.
The framework we once took for granted, and which therefore remained invisible, can suddenly exert decisive influence over a company’s sales or supply chains.
Change can keep us on our toes and reveal new opportunities, but the invisible easily unsettles us. It can erode our sense of agency.
We are entering a time where it becomes increasingly important to be aware not only of the changes happening around us, but equally of ourselves. Are we responding with clarity, fact-based reasoning, and self-reflection? Can we act with greater ethics or sharper focus? Are we conscious of the trade-offs our choices inevitably entail? Before we can drive meaningful change, it is wise to understand what brought us to where we are today. Are we looking in the right places when we try to make sense of the transformations unfolding around us?
