In this episode of the Economist Intelligence podcast, three intriguing topics are explored. First, a surprising rebel offensive in Syria has disrupted years of stalemate, leading to the capture of parts of Aleppo and shifting the regional support landscape for Assad. Next, a journalist shares her struggle to erase her digital footprint, highlighting the daunting challenge of truly disappearing from the internet. Finally, the podcast examines the mixed effects of Donald Trump's re-election on the US stock market, where sectors like finance, private prisons, and cryptocurrency are thriving, while others, such as steel, oil and gas, and Trump Media, have fallen short of expectations.
