The complex social undercurrents demonstrated at the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, followed later by the storming of Capitol Hill in January will be a big challenge for Joe Bidden to carry, as he begins to deal with the USA after Trump.

Our February Blackwood briefing, ‘Conclusion?’ discussed what is probably one of the most fascinating economic outlooks in recent times. Max Thowless-Reeves, Senior Investment Director at Blackwood, covered his take on the likely consequences and effects of this landscape. Property, jobs, crypto currency, were all covered and more. During the Briefing, as well as a vigorous supply of questions for Max to navigate, there was also a special announcement, involving two bottles of brown sauce!
