The International Monetary Fund has published a Finance & Development podcast episode in which economic historian Nicholas Mulder discusses why governments are revisiting state ownership of key resources and industries as geopolitical risks rise, and examines both the potential benefits and risks of nationalization. The episode accompanies Mulder’s June Finance & Development article, The New Wave of Nationalization, and the IMF notes that the podcast reflects the views of IMF staff and external contributors rather than necessarily those of the IMF or its Executive Board.
