Takshashila Working Paper - Dominant Economic Narratives in the Post-Pandemic World
Authors
Executive Summary
In this essay, we will look at some of the dominant narratives of the day in the context of the international world order. A couple of points to note early on – these narratives may or may not be translated into policy actions or at least not a comprehensive policy. Even if it translates to a policy, there’s no comment here about its effectiveness. For instance, despite the strengthening narrative of deglobalisation and retreating trade, trade between the US and China has not decreased rapidly nor have companies been in a rush to move out of China. It has resulted in some policy moves though.
