In my view, the world is going to go through a uncertain period and it will be some time before we get some order. Everyone says it's because of globalisation. I believe this some excuse for all politicians who take power or have some say that the mess has been created going back years and nothing will work because all the economies are in some kind of slow down.
Just like the EU and Canada and then the EU and the UK talk about a block who wants to dominate and who can't get trade deals which will benefit said countries as the EU are greedy and just want to dominate.
