In this episode of Building the Future, Dan is joined by Dr. Richard Feinberg, an economics professor at the University of California, San Diego with over 40s years’ experience in inter-American relations. Dr. Feinberg recently published “Widening the Aperture: Nearshoring in Our ‘Near Abroad”, a report on Biden administration’s domestic economic agenda. The discussion centers around American interactions with our ‘near abroad’, namely central America and the Caribbean. The pair discuss the emphasis that the Biden administration should place on this region, especially considering shifting supply chains, increased presence of Chinese investments, and the differing situations of the countries in the region.
