• 0:41
  Speaker 2: On very well?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Are you absolutely fantastic and very excited to share a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: conversation with you because you bring up a lot of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: subjects inside this book that really do pertain to where
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we presently are, and I just think that it's going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to be a great conversation starter because people are going
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to bring their own personal experiences into it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: That's great, I think lot you think that way. Yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I think the timing for the release of this book
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is not about.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Did you know that going into this project though, or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was it something that you just felt like we need
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to be talking about this, and I'm going to be
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the activator, you know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I mean this book. I mean, we've been working on
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: this book for now more than ten years.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So this has been my preostication, I would say, for years,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know, and I from that point of view, like
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, if you put the world in
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the frame book that I said on this book, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you can understand how we got into the mess that
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: we're into that right, So, and it definitely didn't happen overnight.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's been building up for a long time. And I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: think you know, what I wanted to basically bringing out
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in this book is the idea that everybody is responsible
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: way and I think from that point of view, I think,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, at this point, maybe about has been lost,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: but I think it's very important to take this debate
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: directly to the general readers to help them make sense
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: what's really going on, you know, regardless of their background,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: so that we can make any smarter decision of our
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: next step, because like you know, we could be heading
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: into World War three at the rate of which we're going.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, as you can see what's happening over this
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Eram business, and as you know, I mean Israel. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: think this is why I think, you know, because this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: whole topic about globalization is so misunderstood, okay, and it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: been in way manipulated by political forces on both sides,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that I think that, you know, I think it's time
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that someone like me, who's a product globalization, I think,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I like to think that I'm more qualified
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: than most people in terms of writing this book to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: really not take a political stance, of an ideological stance,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: but simply set up the truth in a way that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: answer the can be understood by everybody. Again, to me,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the most important about globalization is the fact that it
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: touched everybody everywhere, regardless whether they know or not. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, especially at this particular moment in time,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like for example, you know, I live in Israel, right
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and in Something that I've been talking about over the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks is the fact that a lot
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of people don't realize the war in Iran. It is
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: absoually the first parts of the war between the United
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: States and China. The reason why has managed to fight
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: back as hard as they have it has lots to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: do with the help they've been getting from China, but
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's interesting because only two months ago the Chinese were
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: very reluctant to provide you run with the strategic backstop.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It was not until drums you know, a lot of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: actions against Venezuela that China decided to reassess, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the risk of staying on the sideline. So I think
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: from that point of view, again, what we need to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: understand is that there's cause and this effect, and so
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: from that point of view, we have to be able
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to go all the way back to the beginning. It
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was very important for everybody to understand what this is about,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: because there's no question if you look at wor War
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: one go will two other wo wolves in the past,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you know, we sort of sleep walk ourselves into the thing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So I decided to use the device of a novel. Okay,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: something again everybody can understand. People will be entertained by
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a people will find it interesting. Ready, connect the doctors,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and that's really the as here in this book to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: help people figure out how do how you know, basically,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: how do we get ourselves into the speak message?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with David Wu right
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: around the corner. The name of the book, Mary Go
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Round broke down. We are back with author David Wu.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: What people are doing right now is there either going
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to Google or they're going to chat GPT, or they're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going to block and they're looking for answers, when in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: fact you're sitting here writing it inside your book and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you're writing it in real life terms where they can
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: have a better understanding it at the pace that they're
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: doing it, and not something that's just slammed into a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: digital effort.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I think that's exactly right. I mean, I think listen,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want to I'm not dismissing Google and whatever
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: it is Facebook. The problem is that these days, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it's too easy to become an opinion maker. Everybody you
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: know who's read three books that decided they want to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: become an opinion maker. The problem is that said there
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: are more opinions and there are facts, and that is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest failing of the whole digital media,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that actually that people can say whatever they want to say,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you know, you can say it. Well was first my
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: men rights and so and so forth. But the point
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: here is that you know, I think from fortunate but
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think you know, there's something to be said about
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: decentralizing basically the narrative. But I think this is also
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: very dangerous, and I'm just saying, like listen, I was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: born in this work of common parents. Okay, I grew
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: up in Taiwan, but I was educated for the most
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: part of the US and then and then I got
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: my teach team in international trade at Club University. My
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: first job was working for the International Monetary Fund. My
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: first job in the private sector was actually in London
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: working for a city bank covering all of emerging markets.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: My last job on Wall Street was the head of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Global Interest Rates, Currencies, Emerging Markets Income Research, where I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: was responsible for the bank's forecast for over one hundred
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and fifty countries. I think, you know, I've been through
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: hundreds of countries. I mean, I was very lucky. My
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: jobs has actually introduced me a lot of people at
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: different walks of life. I feel like I want, you know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: When I retired, my wife said to me, you got
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to basically get something back, Okay, and I'd fit to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: write a novel drawing my own personal experience, but in
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a very broad way so that I wanted, you know again,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I would be I would be welcome. I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: would welcome in, I mean sort of push back my book.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But I wrote this book in as honest a way
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: as I could because I feel connected, you know, about
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: what's been going on in the last twenty years. We
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: don't throw out the baby with the bath water, Okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I'm also saying that, you know, there's a big difference
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: between globalization and globalism. I'm against globalism, but I'm not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: against globalization, and there's a very very big difference between
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the two. So I'm just saying, like, you know, in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a way, it's unfortunately, I think the world's gone to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: this point. It's a very dangerous point, and I don't
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: really how much I can do to move the needle.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: But this is my attempt of trying to help, basically
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: people to have more honest dialogue. And I think, again,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you know, like this is why I put in a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: novel so that everybody can relate. I'm guarantee you there
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: are hundreds of characters in the book. I'm fairly certain
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: everybody picking up this book will be able to find
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: somebody they can identify with. And I think that is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: also what I'm trying to do, because in a way
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that globalize what's going on in the world today. It's
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: not somebody else's problem. It's all our problem, whether you
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: know it or not.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I love where your heart is. Where can people go
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to find out about you, David? Because ten minutes with
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you is not going to be enough time. They need
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to go in there and dive in there, and so
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: they can make their way to a bookstore. I want
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: them to physically put their hands on a real book
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this time around.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically, first of all, you know, I now
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: have a YouTube channel, so in case people want to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: know what I think about politics, geopolitics, economics, and technology,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: they can look me up on YouTube. David Rumbounds, Okay,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you know it's great, so there's no obligation. I did
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: this in order to again to engage people in you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: sort of a very honest but also rigorous dialogue about
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the four majors choices driving the world today. And if
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: you want to read them about me, you know, it's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: my Wikipedia page. You can read up about me, you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like just last last month and Your Time has published
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: an article I wrote about my relationship with my wife,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: who's my co author, who's twenty years older than me,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: was published in The Modern Love section of the New
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: York Times. If you are subscribe to New York Times,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: check that out. Because this is about our relationship, our
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: loves and but she's my co author. I couldn't have
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: written the book without her, so in a way, it
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: also brings together our background. What makes this book different
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: because our background could not be anymore just similar. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: then you can find a book right now are It's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: available for pre order on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, you know, Stephen,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Target and Walmart. The book will be coming out answered
• 9:35

• 9:37
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 9:37
