Everything You’re Told About The Global Economy Is Wrong | Aaron Bastani Meets Philip Pilkington

We are in a drastically different world from the one most of us grew up in. This has been proven by the rapid escalation in the events in the middle east over the last six weeks. No longer are we in a world where, essentially, the US run the show - and this has huge global implications - especially for Europe. Philip Pilkington is a macroeconomist and podcaster who co-hosts the ’Multipolarity’ podcast. He sat down with Aaron to talk about what we get wrong about China, cheap high quality weapons technology and what we can learn from the Treaty of Versailles. 00:00 Intro 02:38 What is ’Multipolarity’ 06:58 Who is Philip Pilkington? 11:40 Geopolitics people don’t understand economics. 17:45 The financial cost of war 20:32 Israel/Gaza ripple effect 26:14 The middle east is changing 29:22 Is inflation coming back? 38:52 People are losing faith in institutions 41:58 What about China? 01:05:21 Europe doesn’t have the tech 01:17:05 The Conservative party & demographic aging 01:27:54 Book recommendations Novara Live broadcasts every weekday from 6PM on YouTube and Twitch.
