Global Industries

Whether in primary, secondary, or tertiary industries, companies are required to think and act strategically in cross-border markets. That reach is not just to pursue customers; it may also involve supply-chain development. Yet there are limits. One-off events—like the 2021 Suez Canal blockage—and extreme scenarios—such as the pandemic—emphasize unexpected hurdles. Risk-averse decisions by policymakers and corporate executives are now reshaping global trade in both manufacturing and services.

Ghost Road
Beyond the Driverless Car
Anthony M. Townsend

Ghost Road asks the tough questions about the driverless car that seem to be forgotten in the buzz about safer roads. Our general concern about this industry is that investors are overreaching in their expectations about the potential for the driverless car, leading to severely inflated valuation readings in public and private markets. The material here in part explains our caution, acknowledging benefits, but also putting a framework around underlying economic distortions.
