Economist Stephen King
Stephen King was the chief economist at HCBC for 17 years. He tells HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur why he thinks globalization could go into reverse.
Stephen King was the chief economist at HSBC from 1998 to 2015. He now says 'Western led globalization is in big trouble. We may be witnessing the collapse of the post-war international economic and political order'. Stephen Sackur asks him why he thinks globalisation could go into reverse and what damage could be done to economies across Europe and the United States.
