In this episode of the Economist Intelligence podcast, we explore three intriguing topics: Intel’s ongoing challenges and uncertain future, Lithuania's groundbreaking move to bring a case against Belarus to the International Criminal Court (ICC), and how viral food trends are transforming the culinary landscape.
Intel faces a decline due to missed tech transitions and internal missteps, raising questions about its future even as it remains crucial to the tech ecosystem. Meanwhile, Lithuania's referral to the ICC over Belarus’ alleged crimes against humanity, while unconventional, could pave the way for accountability of non-member states. Lastly, the rise of food trends fueled by social media is not only reshaping the industry but also creating new job opportunities and altering consumer habits—effectively leading to shortages in some popular items.
