In this week’s podcast Brewin Dolphin’s Head of Research, Guy Foster, speaks to former US Ambassador to Germany John Emmerson about the implications of the coronavirus for the way we live and do business over the short medium and long term. We discuss the way in which different cultures and political systems deal with this unprecedented challenge before also debating how it will affect the raise for the White House. With his unique perspective we also ask John what the outlook is for Germany as it prepares to say goodbye to Angela Merkel whose adept stewardship of the Covid crisis may cement her status as one of the most successful democratic leaders in modern history.
