I wrote an essay six months ago saying the US is well positioned to lead the 21st century, subject to the politics holding together.

And I do think that the degree of dynamism that exists

will help it at the top line.

I don't think there's much attention being paid to all of the points of tension that we discuss about inequality and access and distribution.

But compared to the UK and Europe, I think it could be in for quite a healthy top line year, buoyed by a sense amongst CEOs that can just get on and do things.

Paul, thanks so much.

I really enjoyed this.

I hope you did.

I did indeed.

Good to talk to you.

Thanks for listening all the way to the end.

That's all for now.

And I'll catch you next time.

What I'd like to do today is talk about what we need to look out for over the next 24 months with the AI build out, with all of the things that are going on in the deployment of AI, how people are feeling about it.

all of the tensions, all of the potential crises and the potential wins.

Now, two years is a particularly difficult time to shoot for.

So I am really hanging myself out because everyone can predict the next week and you can kind of predict the next 20 years.

But I'm going to be brave and talk about those two years.

Readers will know that I've talked a little bit about this in the newsletter.
