New Zealand's ability to cope in the current geopolitical landscape is set to be the hot topic at the Economics Forum this week.  

Leading economists, business leaders, and public sector officials are gathering at Waikato University's Management School to talk economic priorities, challenges, and opportunities.  

Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking they'll discuss the benefits of MMP and the influence of big players like the US.  

He says they'll explore how the modern political world encourages nations to think tribally, and how social media is influencing people to think this way.
