The Global Domino Effect

Picture this. Sitting in my economics exam, suddenly everything clicks. The post-2020 domino

effect began. Brexit reshaped European trade routes like a river. British businesses faced

new tariffs and mountains of paperwork. Then the Suez blockage froze global trade.

One ship, stuck sideways, cost the world economy billions daily. Conflict sent energy

prices skyrocketing. Europeans scrambled for gas supplies like shoppers fighting for sales.

Inflation hit double digits and central banks raised rates, making mortgages more expensive overnight.

Environmental policies added costs. Carbon taxes and green transitions pushed production expenses much

higher. The global economy is a web where one thread unravels everything.
