America-First Capital Is Reshaping Markets and Economies [podcast]

In this video podcast, I present a compelling argument that the “America-First” philosophy, particularly the “Trump 2.0 presidency,” is fundamentally reshaping the global capital market. This philosophy mandates that to access the lucrative American consumer market, companies must manufacture and establish their businesses within the United States, primarily to avoid prohibitive tariffs. This has led to a significant redirection of global investment capital, termed “America-First Capital,” which is pulling funds away from other regions and concentrating them in the U.S.

I highlight the immense scale of this capital inflow, citing billions of dollars in planned investments from countries like Japan and companies like Astra Zeneca. This phenomenon is predicted to cause economic stress in other parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, Latin America, and India, as they are “starved of capital.” Looking at a deeper level, the global market could be seen as bifurcating into two major poles: America, as the dominant Western market, and China, which offers an alternative consumer market for companies unwilling or unable to meet the “build in America” requirements.

Good People, companies must have shops in America because the America-First Capital will drive a new era for American consumers even though they could be an overheat when supply becomes unbounded and unconstrained in one place. I do not see how any company can think it has a credible future without an American playbook because if companies ship their capital into America,  many economies will play only indirect assists in the balance sheets!
