In this event podcast, recorded live at Dublin's Royal Irish Academy on Wednesday 17 June 2026, Alan Dunne is joined by political economist and professor of international economics at Brown University Mark Blyth to discuss what lies ahead for investors in a new economic regime.

The discussion examines why the neo-liberal era is ending, how a new multipolar economic order is emerging, and why investors need more adaptive portfolios capable of navigating higher volatility, geopolitical fragmentation, technological disruption, and changing global growth patterns.

Learn why:

-The hardware of Capitalism stills runs, but the software is broken

-Why deglobalization is real

-The role of China in investor futures

-Why technological revolutions often take longer to fully materialise than investors initially expect when it comes to AI

-Why portfolio construction must evolve

Markets have changed. Most portfolios haven’t.

The disinflationary world that made 60–40 work is gone. Debt is extreme, valuations are stretched and correlations are unstable. With the addition of an AI bubble and market volatility as geopolitical events dominate the news, this webinar breaks down in detail how investors can prepare for a new market regime.

In Episode 1, Alan Dunne is hosted by Newstalk's Shane Coleman for an in-depth look at how to invest in an unpredictable world.

Shane takes Alan through:

-What the new macro regime means for long-term investors

-Why most portfolios aren't built for the world we're now in

-How to construct portfolios that adapt as the economic landscape shifts

This episode will especially appeal to investors, finance professionals and those with self-directed pensions.
