The next American election will decide the future of capitalism, at a time when the global economy and environment – and America’s status as a world superpower – are precarious.
On the eve of the election, senior foreign policy commentators Greg Sheridan and Peter Hartcher will speculate on the outcome of the presidential race, and discuss the impact – in foreign policy terms – of either a Democrat or Republican in the top job.
What would happen to the ‘special friendship’ between the northern empire and its ‘deputy sheriff in the Pacific’ under a Romney government? And what would the relationship be between Obama and a potential Tony Abbott, PM? With Sally Warhaft.
