About Global Trade with Fexingo: WTO, Free Trade Agreements, and International Commerce
Global Trade with Fexingo is a daily examination of the rules, institutions, and politics that govern international commerce. Lucas and Luna dissect the latest developments at the World Trade Organization, from dispute rulings and tariff disputes to the stalling Doha Round. They map the patchwork of free trade agreements — from the USMCA and RCEP to the AfCFTA — and assess how these deals reshape supply chains, labor standards, and intellectual property protections. Each episode grounds abstract policy in concrete numbers: the volume of trade at stake, the tariff lines that matter, the winners and losers in specific industries. The show is for trade economists, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand how trade tensions affect their operations. Lucas brings the global perspective; Luna stresses the real-world impact on exporters, importers, and workers. Together, they avoid ideology and focus on the data: what does a new EU carbon border adjustment mean for Indian steel? How does a Chinese export ban on rare earths hit electric vehicle production? Listeners leave each episode with a clearer map of the world's commercial arteries — and the choke points that could disrupt them.

We examine the unintended consequence of protectionist trade policy: how tariffs designed to shield domestic industries often create entrenched monopolies. Using the steel and aluminum sectors as a case study, we look at how removing foreign competition allows local giants to raise prices without improving efficiency. The result is a hidden tax on downstream manufacturers and consumers. This episode explores the economic mechanics of market consolidation during trade disputes and why 'buying American' can sometimes cost more in the long run.

How Trade Agreements Shape Your Morning Routine
We explore the invisible architecture of global commerce by examining how specific provisions in modern trade deals, like those governing digital services and intellectual property, quietly dictate the price and availability of everyday goods. From the coffee beans that arrive tariff-free to the software updates on your phone, we break down the mechanics of non-tariff barriers and rules of origin. This episode focuses on a concrete case study: the European Union's recent data flow agreements with key partners, revealing how digital sovereignty impacts physical supply chains. We also look at the hidden costs of compliance for small manufacturers trying to navigate complex customs codes. If you have ever wondered why certain products are cheaper or harder to find, this is the story behind the border.
