Marko Papic’s Speech Topics

  • Geopolitics

    In an increasingly interconnected world, the shifting dynamics of geopolitics are more critical than ever. Marko Papic explores key global trends shaping our future. From power struggles between nations to the rise of new economic forces, he provides invaluable insights into how geopolitical shifts affect business, policy, and global relations. Whether you’re curious about world events or want to understand how global changes impact markets and/or your everyday life, Papic will give you the knowledge to stay informed and prepared.

  • GeoMacro

    Marko Papic introduces his framework, which combines geopolitical analysis and macroeconomics. In today’s world, investors cannot pretend that the two knowledge realms are separate. We are “back to the nineteenth century,” when investors had to deftly navigate geopolitics as a tool for generating alpha and revealing beta.

  • Trump 2.0

    Marko Papic’s controversial view on the second Trump administration is far more optimistic than the consensus. However, this is not for the same reasons that many members of the administration tout (deregulation and a pro-business agenda). First, Trump’s fiscal priorities are likely to be significantly curbed, which is positive for growth (ironically) as they will calm the bond market. Second, President Trump has a track record of deal-making empirically backed by evidence from his first term. Trade war, therefore, may be overstated. Third, President Trump will reestablish a geopolitical equilibrium that has been missing for the past four years.  

  • Geopolitical Trilemma

    Marko Papic explains his thesis that Western policymakers are attempting too many grand geopolitical plans at the same time: de-risk from China, de-risk from Russia, and de-risk from global warming. Together, these policies make up the Impossible Geopolitical Trinity, a trilemma. Short of a significant policy shift, the consequence of this trilemma will be higher commodity prices and a continued capex cycle. 

  • Europe: A New Hope

    Marko Papic presents his thesis that Europe should not be left for dead. Contrary to the entrenched consensus, Europe has many things going for it, starting with the coming tsunami wave of LNG supply that will permanently lower energy costs.
