If business cycles are (at least partly) caused by forces endogenous to the economy, rather than by exogenous shocks, it is much easier to explain why economic activity tends to co-move across countries.

Trust, Populism and the Psychology of Broken Contracts Many explanations have been offered for this lack of trust and rise in populism: economic dislocation, demographic shifts, immigration and, of course, the growth of social media.

As we try to understand the causes of the rise of autocratic, ethno-nationalist populism in the US and around the world, it's critial to understand the psychology that underpins these politics. My essay "Trust, Populism and the Psychology of Broken Contracts" www.edelman.com/trust/edelma...
