Rupture or New Order? Middle Powers Take Center Stage | Fate, Luck & Choice Ep. 15

Prof Nick Binedell and Prof Adrian Saville dive into the turbulent start of the year, exploring whether we're witnessing a rupture in the global system as highlighted by Mark Carney's Davos speech. They discuss the rise of middle powers like Poland, Turkey, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, and others as "speedboats" navigating between superpowers such as the US and China. Key highlights: China's quiet retreat: From global ambitions to domestic focus under Xi, contrasting with historical patterns of chaos and order. Europe's challenges: Demographic declines, stagnant growth, and existential questions about unity in the face of threats like Russia—could Poland lead the way? Trump's unprecedented era: Narcissism, contradictions, and economic strength amid rising gold/silver prices signaling potential US decline and currency debasement. Africa's players: Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria, and smaller "speedboats" like Mauritius and Seychelles. Broader themes: Fragmentation, strategic polygamy, and the role of independent middle powers in a fractured world. Join us for insightful analysis on geopolitics, economics, and long-term global shifts.
