Geopolitical Economy Report

This podcast is refreshing. Finally news that isn’t mainstream talking points! Keep up the amazing work.

From semi literate serfs eager to fellate the same elite wrecking their future are hilarious if not sad. Ben does an excellent job on this show and it’s a departure from his previous work which could often come off as than less clinical and academic.

This podcast program offers eye-opening insights from a variety of sources. However, it is important to listen with caution as there is a huge media bias. In "Israel's pager attack in Lebanon will blow back," distributed on 9/24/2024, Ben contrasted the Western European side with the Chinese and Russian sides, showing that the Israeli attack has discredited technology products manufactured in Western countries. I agree that the Israeli attack has discredited technology products produced in Western countries. At 28:20~ of the episode, Ben claims the small countries would say "at least China has not invaded other countries and deserves credit," but I must point out that this would not be true. The 2020 National Security Law in Hong Kong is still fresh in our minds, and as of 2024, China is in the midst of a territorial dispute with the Philippines. The fact that Taiwan has refused to have political ties with China in elections in recent years makes it unlikely that many countries would trust China more than Western countries.

Sometimes underestimates people’s experience (I’m 74, been around a long time), but Ben is incredibly motivated to learn and explain the world. Highly recommend, especially as his interests include economics and China.
