How our interconnected world is changing

McKinsey & Company
About this episode

Globalization isn’t going away, but it is changing, according to recent research from the
McKinsey Global Institute (MGI). In this episode of The McKinsey Podcast, MGI director Olivia White speaks with global editorial director Lucia Rahilly about the flows of goods, knowledge, and labor that drive global integration—and what reshaping these flows might mean for our interconnected future.


After, global brewer AB InBev has thrived in the throes of what its CFO Fernando Tennenbaum describes as the recent “twists and turns.” Find out how in this excerpt from our McKinsey Live series, recorded in December 2022.

Theme music composed, produced, and performed by Joy Ngiaw.
