Mathias Döpfner, Chairman and CEO of Axel Springer, whose audacious acquisitions of Insider, Morning Brew and now POLITICO, have made the German company a major player in American media, is just getting started. He sees global trends of weakened democracies and eroded freedoms continuing without a revolutionary shift in trade policies. Mathias shares how his views were shaped over a career that began as an aspiring journalist in a divided Germany to building Axel Springer into a digital media empire. Mathias’ new book, THE TRADE TRAP: How to Stop Doing Business with Dictators, is out now from Simon and Schuster.
