The latest economic data from the IMF suggests that coronavirus and the subsequent lockdowns will cause the global GDP to shrink by at least 3% this year. To get some insight into whether we might expect a quick or long recovery from that, BRINK turned to Moisés Naím, distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and chief international columnist for El País, Spain’s largest newspaper.
In the early 1990s, Naím was Venezuela’s minister of trade and industry, director of Venezuela’s Central Bank and executive director at the World Bank. BRINK’s executive editor, Tom Carver, began by asking Naím if he thought this crisis was different to anything that the global economy had had to face before.

Early in my life I was drawn to power to impose my ideas onto the world. It was only natural to believe leaders were able to change organizations, businesses or even geopolitics to their whim. But I found my implicit sense of power was entirely wrong. There is a tradeoff between authority and influence. Leadership becomes a trap where it is limited in its options by those who are supposedly led. Managers make concessions to their workers to maintain a productive atmosphere.

In this week's Rio Bravo Podcast, we talked with the writer Moisés Naím, one of the most read authors of today and a member of Carnegie Endowment. At the beginning of this decade, Naim published the book "O fim do poder" (The end of power), a work that addresses how new and multiple powers are changing traditional models in politics, business and the media. Since the book's release, a series of events have, on one hand, pointed to the acceleration of the transience of power and, on the other, marked the rise of new leaderships, beyond traditional politics and business. In the conversation, the writer comments on the consequences of these transformations in an environment that is increasingly hostile and complex. Speaking about the role of leaders in the coronavirus case, Moisés Naím says: "It is a matter that involves science, and it is better that doctors, statisticians and epidemiologists take care of it; and politicians should support scientists in this". The interview is in English. (Translated from original text).
