The Greenfield Report with Henry R. Greenfield ·

2025/12/23

A backpack to Nepal set the course for a life spent solving hard problems with simple tools. We sit down with entrepreneur and civic operator Christopher Fussner to map how a Jesuit-rooted mobile clinic program expanded to five hubs and roughly 150,000 patient visits a year, using local sisters, schoolhouses as pop-up clinics, and low-cost medicines sourced in Nepal and India. The model is lean, replicable, and deeply human—proof that small teams can deliver big health outcomes without waitin...

2025/12/07

A festive Budapest masks a darker reality: a long war in Ukraine and a 33-page U.S. national security strategy that could upend decades of transatlantic habit. We pull the curtain back on a document that sounds tidy on paper but signals a seismic shift in practice—downgrading Europe, shrinking diplomatic footprints, and elevating a Gulf-first, oil-first calculus. The result isn’t just a new posture; it’s a rewrite of the post–World War II bargain that shaped NATO, Ukraine’s hopes, and the Eur...

2025/11/07

A closing China meets a scrambling West—and the balance of power looks different up close. We sit down with our Shanghai-based correspondent, Steve Croll to unpack how the city that once courted foreign CEOs now moves confidently without them, and why the assumptions that guided two decades of outsourcing no longer hold. From Hong Kong’s electric past to today’s tighter controls, the story tracks a deliberate strategy: master the tech, shift management in-house, then narrow the aperture for o...

2025/11/03

The map looks familiar, but the ground beneath it is moving. We open from Singapore with a hard look at an off-year election that punches above its weight: governors’ races that signal voter appetite for moderation and a California ballot push that could reshape congressional math. From there, we trace the long arc from Dixiecrats to today’s polarized blocs to show why the fight over district lines is less about party trivia and more about who gets heard when budgets and benefits are decided....

2025/10/29

Start with a grand Paris weekend—the thunder of the organ at a renewed Notre Dame, crowds winding through centuries of art—and watch it flicker into something more fragile as the TGV grinds to a halt. That sudden stall becomes our window into a tougher story: a Europe struggling with integration, security, and a welfare model built for a different era. We unpack how protests at Charles de Gaulle and a brazen Louvre heist expose brittle public systems, then widen the lens to immigration polic...

The Greenfield Report with Henry R. Greenfield ·

2025/10/14

What does a country look like when trust is designed into its politics, not wished for? We wrap our Switzerland series with diplomat and longtime Geneva resident Marc Finaud to explore how a small, multilingual federation turned subsidiarity into a superpower—building prosperity, safety, and civic calm from the commune upward. Instead of top‑down decrees, the Swiss rely on direct democracy, frequent referendums, and cantonal autonomy that ties spending to local decisions. You vote for the pla...

2025/10/12

Doors left unlocked. Three national languages in daily use. Half the households owning long guns—and still, one of the lowest homicide rates in the developed world. We went to a small village in the Swiss Alps to understand how Switzerland turns this paradox into a durable way of life, and what the rest of us can learn from it. We walk through the mechanics of direct democracy and why frequent local votes tie decisions to duties in a way that builds trust rather than fatigue. You’ll hear how...

2025/10/05

An 800-year-old bridge in Lucerne sets the scene for a forward-looking conversation about buildings that think for themselves. We bring together architect-CEO Jojo Tolentino and digital twin leader Tim Goring to unpack how open BIM, Siemens Building X, and AI-driven integration move design beyond handover into real operational impact. The theme is simple and urgent: you can’t correct what you can’t measure, and the biggest sustainability gains live in day-to-day operations. We dig into Europ...

Episode 32-Guns, Safety, and Swiss Sense

The Greenfield Report with Henry R. Greenfield ·

2025/10/03

This is Henry R. Greenfield's first dispatch from Switzerland—part of a field series exploring how communities create safety, especially in countries where nearly half of households keep a firearm at home. Landing in Zurich, Greenfield unpacks Switzerland’s quiet paradox: high gun ownership, low homicide rates, and a civic culture built on shared responsibility rather than hollow slogans. Here, firearms are integrated into daily life through mandatory military service, an active n...

2025/09/29

What if the fastest way to rescue democracy isn’t through endless arguments about abstractions, but by fixing the problems families face every day? Henry R. Greenfield takes a clear-eyed look at why trust has collapsed—nostalgia that romanticizes the past, decades of offshoring and short-term corporate thinking, and institutions that reward power over accountability. Then he turns to a practical path forward built on outcomes, not outrage. First, health. Instead of treating refo...

2025/09/15

A seismic shift is occurring in youth movements worldwide, with profound implications for global stability. Charlie Kirk's Turning Point Action represents one pole of this phenomenon—a rightward movement claiming to speak for young Americans frustrated with immigration and societal change. Kirk's assassination by a young Mormon man underscores the dangerous polarization permeating our society. Across the globe, we're witnessing the opposite reaction in Nepal, where Gen Z youth are rioting fo...

America is hemorrhaging its brightest minds at an alarming rate, and few seem to notice. From the vineyards of southern France, I've witnessed firsthand the start of what could be the most consequential brain drain in modern history. Speaking with university coordinators across Europe, I discovered that academic institutions have terminated all cooperative programs with American universities. European PhDs and researchers are frantically returning home as their U.S. student visas are revoked...

The geopolitical tide is shifting beneath our feet, and most Western nations seem content to look the other way. Henry R. Greenfield delivers a blistering assessment of Europe's inadequate response to the Ukraine crisis, contrasting their "solidarity forever" rhetoric with a troubling pattern of inaction and excessive vacation culture. Drawing on his 50 years of experience across 10 countries, Greenfield exposes the hypocrisy behind the recent World War II victory parade in Beijing, where th...

The geopolitical chessboard between Ukraine, Russia, and Western powers has reached a pivotal moment as diplomatic efforts intensify following consequential meetings between key players. Trump's controversial Alaska summit with Putin, where the American president abandoned ceasefire talks in favor of comprehensive peace negotiations, set the stage for a coordinated European diplomatic offensive in Washington DC. Volodymyr Zelensky demonstrated remarkable strategic evolution during his Washin...

2025/08/04

Traveling across America for a month revealed a stunning disconnect between reality and perception. Infrastructure projects flourish everywhere—new roads and bridges in Chicago, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and beyond—physical manifestations of Biden's investments that Trump supporters simultaneously benefit from while denying. The cognitive dissonance is striking: Americans enjoying prosperity while convinced of their nation's decline. Chicago stands as a testament to urban vitality—bustlin...

America exists in two realities – the chaotic nation portrayed in global headlines versus the functional everyday experience of its citizens. Henry R. Greenfield navigates this contradiction, revealing how travelers experience smooth, passport-free entry using facial recognition while online forums overflow with tales of harassment that rarely materialize. Against the backdrop of July 4th celebrations, Greenfield shares a poignant examination of American patriotism through generations. He co...

What began with the October 7th Hamas attacks has evolved into a dangerous new phase of warfare, featuring devastating Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and unprecedented American military involvement.

The world is watching America with growing concern as Trump's second term unfolds with diminishing global influence. Despite domestic policy victories, international leaders increasingly ignore presidential demands while pursuing their own agendas without fear of meaningful consequences. This episode of The Greenfield Report provides an unvarnished assessment of America's declining international stature four months into Trump's second presidency. While the administration celebrates domestic ...
