About this episode
We don’t have The Daily Brief episode today as the markets are closed. So we're uploading an episode from one of our other shows "The world, simplified", where we break down the big global issues affecting our money and lives in simple terms.
In this episode, we cover:
1. The Chip War: US vs China
We dive into the world of semiconductors—the tiny chips powering everything from smartphones to supercomputers—and explore the intense U.S.-China rivalry over control of this critical technology, its impact on AI, and the global stakes in the semiconductor race.
2. BRICS: A New World Order?
The expanded BRICS alliance aims to challenge Western financial dominance, building alternatives like the New Development Bank and BRICS Pay. Despite internal conflicts, the group’s push for a parallel financial system signals a major shift in the global economic order.
