- Will the major trading nations return to a broad economic consensus or continue to fragment into hostile tribes, blaming each other?
- Will globalisation go into reverse as countries hunker down and seek to be more self-sufficient - or will it herald a new era of international co–operation?
- How will the hit to the US economy affect Trump’s chances of re-election?
- Will countries with weakened economies seek refuge in populism, or revert to ‘safer’ traditional political parties?
- Will the crisis change our habits to the point where it has an effect on climate change & energy usage?
- Will the dispute over central bank intervention stretch EU unity to its limits?
- Brexit Redux?
