A "vanishingly small" chance of avoiding recession

On our latest podcast episode, hear global macro insights from Ian Harnett, the Co-Founder of Absolute Strategy Research.

Absolute Strategy Research (ASR) is one of only a handful of highly regarded independent global macro research firms. ASR has a team of analysts globally who have been providing valuable insights to institutional investors and other big corporations for the last 15 years.

In this episode, the firm's Co-Founder Ian Harnett joins Alison Savas for a discussion on the current global macro environment and outlook. 

One of the key topics discussed is whether or not the US (and the West) can avoid a recession. 

Ian was quoted in the Australian press a few months ago saying it would be a "miracle" if the US avoided a recession. 

Since, a two-speed economy has developed, where strength in services is offsetting a weakness in manufacturing. So does Ian think the West can now sidestep recession?
