On the Money

Book Now

As Donald Trump’s presidency reshapes the global economy, expert commentators Richard Denniss and Satyajit Das offer new perspectives on Australia’s place in the new world order. 

In this special Bendigo Writers Festival edition of The Fifth Estate, host Sally Warhaft welcomes Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute, and Satyajit Das, economic expert, former banker and author, to make sense of the current geopolitical moment and what the burgeoning sense of crisis in the global economy means for Australia.  

How will Donald Trump’s volatile presidency – already marked by tariff wars and sweeping ideology-led economic mandates – affect Australia’s economic future, trade, climate action and approach to human rights? Are we in a tumultuous phase or an economic tinderbox? And most importantly, what are the essential reforms Australia needs to make to withstand the turmoil and prepare for an unpredictable future? 

Join these two thought leaders for a gripping conversation on how we can weather the coming economic storms – and reshape Australia for the better. 

 

Presented in partnership with Bendigo Writers Festival and La Trobe University
