In this clip of Winner Take All, host Alex Moazed interviews economist and former managing director at Soros Fund Management, Rob Johnson, on the potential collapse of the Hong Kong banking sector after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and its international effects. The conversation explores the possibility of a global recession and the potential consequences for China's financial sector, including the decoupling of the Chinese economy from the United States and the Western financial system. Johnson and Moazed also discuss China's challenges such as a decelerating real estate boom and growth challenges, and how they could impact the Chinese population as owners of real estate or people seeking employment in a stagnant economy. Tune in to hear Johnson's insights on the Chinese dynamic and his recommendations for paying attention to experts like Stephen Roach and Jim Chanos. #HongKong #SVB #Economy2023 — ?

Nick Johnson, Co-author of Modern Monopolies, joins Alex to discuss the M&A landscape for tech giants with a focus on acquisitions that are platform businesses or accretive to platforms already being operated by the acquirer. Additionally, Johnson points out that while M&A is the dominate method we see big tech using to achieve platform conglomerate status, examples like Amazon's B2B marketplace, Amazon Business, showcase that tech giants can still spin out viable tech businesses using a build-from-scratch approach.
