Der Iran-Krieg und die Weltwirtschaft – Ep. 346

The US and Israel may have miscalculated with their war against Iran. The stock market is reacting extremely nervously, a new wave of inflation is rolling in, and energy prices are reaching new record highs daily. Moreover, it is unlikely that the Iranian government is on its last legs, as was initially reported. The closed Strait of Hormuz is a catastrophe for the global energy market, the extent of which is still impossible to assess. If an energy crisis comparable to that of the 1970s were to occur, it would also pose a problem for the tech companies that are currently consuming enormous amounts of energy. This is not the only reason why critical voices are growing louder within the Republican Party. The media establishment surrounding Trump, particularly Tucker Carlson, also seems to be distancing itself more and more from him. So, is it once again a case of "It's the economy, stupid"? More on this from Ole Nymoen and Wolfgang M. Schmitt in the new episode of "Prosperity for All"!
