Of Tariffs, Manufacturing and PSAs || Peter Zeihan Apr 18, 2025

Stopping Trump's Tariffs with A New Trade Act || Peter Zeihan Apr 16, 2025

Turkey Takes a Break from Democracy || Peter Zeihan Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

It appears that democracy has fallen in Turkey, as Erdogan has arrested his only major political challenger - Istanbul's mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu. With Erdogan's suppression of his (only) political opposition, he has signaled the transition from a democracy to an autocracy.
