President Trump has ditched America's trade deal with the Asia-Pacific region, but can the clock be turned back on globalisation? We speak to the New York Times columnist and multiple Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, who argues that the politics and economics of the traditional nation-state are increasingly irrelevant amid rapid technological change. Also, Jonas Prising, chief executive of ManpowerGroup, the American multinational recruitment firm, says President Trump's focus on immigration misses the point about what has caused some job losses in the US. And, Michael Berkowitz, president of 100 Resilient Cities, a network that works to bolster urban areas, pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation, details the growing urban-versus-rural divide.
