Live with Wayne Best and Dr. Axel Weber | Policy Sandbox

In this episode of Policy Sandbox, Todd Fox, President of the Visa Economic Empowerment Institute, sits down with Visa Chief Economist Wayne Best and VEEI Council Chair Axel Weber to discuss the geopolitical shifts and macroeconomic uncertainty that are reshaping global finance.

The episode discusses how differences across regions and industries are changing the economy as generative AI influences business practices. Todd and his guests talk about how, in an increasingly fragmented and disrupted world, connectivity is a scare resource and trust is the ultimate driver of value. Yet despite growing global divides, technology—especially AI and open digital payment networks like Visa—continues to enhance the ways we connect and generate value.
