The world is undergoing a historic period of upheaval, as institutions built over centuries struggle to keep pace with a rapid acceleration in geopolitical and technological change. With powerful innovations transforming how billions of people live and work, societies are coming under severe pressure, long-settled alliances are fracturing, and flows of people, goods, money, and ideas are being rerouted.
In this session, Chief Market Strategist Karl Schamotta steps back from the day-to-day noise to make sense of the bigger picture: how an increasingly violent clash between the old world and the new is reshaping economies, redirecting capital flows, and upending financial markets — and what it all means for Canadian businesses and investors.
