Can We Fix Our Politics? New Business Paradigms
b'At the top of the show we discuss the positive outlook for\\xa0the US economy, including rising wages, potential infrastructure funding, and economic anxiety caused by politics. We also discuss\\xa0the turbulence in Europe caused by a potential Brexit, the disintegrating European Union, and the ongoing refugee crisis.\\n\\nAs our mainstream media spends hours speculating,\\xa0focusing\\xa0on the presidential horserace, we look at the long view in national\\xa0politics and discuss\\xa0where there is possibility for progress. Can we actually find pathways to political progress, or is gridlock and dysfunction here to stay? We speak to World Business Academy Fellow\\xa0Mark Gerzon, who is President and Founder of the Mediators Foundation and\\xa0author of The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide.\\n\\nIn our final segment we give a fossil fuel industry outlook\\xa0and show how\\xa0these companies are attempting to influence decision\\xa0makers, the media, and citizens, as they fight to\\xa0maintain their power over the global economy.'
