Global imbalances, the status of the dollar, and the stability of bond markets are putting pressure on the international financial system. But are we witnessing a rupture, or a transition? In the latest episode of #VoxTalks Economics, Valentina Bruno (@KogodBiz, CEPR) and Cédric Tille (@GVAGrad, CEPR) join Tim Phillips to discuss the findings of the 29th Geneva Report on the World Economy. They examine why stocks, the dollar, and US Treasuries all fell following Liberation Day in April 2025, why this could happen again, and what can be done about it. 🎧 Listen to the podcast: ow.ly/VfEE5100zk8 📖 Read the 29th Geneva Report on the World Economy, Changing Structure and Challenges of the International Financial System: Imbalances, Currencies, and Financial Stability, available to download for free from CEPR: ow.ly/6Fk05100zk7 #InternationalFinance #FinancialMarkets

How much does inheritance law shape who ultimately receives our wealth? In much of the world, people are not entirely free to decide who inherits their estate. In many civil-law countries, minimum shares are reserved for children, spouses and, in some cases, parents. Switzerland loosened these rules in 2023, reducing the compulsory share for children by one third and removing it altogether for surviving parents. In another episode of #VoxTalks Economics, @Marius_Brulhart (@HECLausanneEcon) joins Tim Phillips to discuss what these changes can tell us about inheritance, the diffusion of wealth, and the trade-offs between giving people greater freedom over their estates and using inheritance taxation to redistribute wealth. With his co-author, they analysed almost 17,000 anonymous wills written before and after the reform to see how people responded to this greater freedom. 🎧Listen to the episode now: ow.ly/enns50ZPBrQ #VoxTalks #Economics #Inheritance #WealthInequality
