Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.6k ratings
  • Good geopolitical observation. Only one thing irritates me, at the end of each podcast Ian requesting reviews, only five star. It's not a good call. Not worthy of the established analyst.

  • The absolute best podcast

    Ian Bremmer continues to provide a holistic geopolitical view, unfiltered, addressing real topics in the history behind key issues going on in the United States and its impact on other countries. He takes a analytical approach while others lean heavy on biases. His report reporting on micro and larger macro economics is very much appreciated

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

North Korea's nuclear gamble pays off, with the WSJ's Jonathan Cheng
Q: Do you prefer more engagement or more diplomacy and sanctions?
The guest expresses uncertainty about which approach will work best and suggests that neither side has a decisive Trump-card, highlighting the complexity and unsolved nature of North Korea policy.
Assessing the Iran War's "structural damage" with Harvard economist Gita Gopinath
Q: What is the likely trajectory for inflation and growth amid energy price changes from this conflict?
Oil and natural gas price increases are the main near-term inflationary pressure, likely lifting global inflation by roughly around 100 basis points over a year, while overall world growth might be shaved by about 0.3 percentage points, with greater risk if energy infrastructure is damaged further.
Assessing the Iran War's "structural damage" with Harvard economist Gita Gopinath
Q: So how does this Iran conflict compare to past shocks like the pandemic or the Ukraine invasion?
The Iran situation is smaller in immediate impact but can compound and deepen structural damage over time, especially if energy infrastructure is damaged or energy prices rise sharply; the pandemic caused a much larger global contraction, whereas the Iran crisis risks slower, lasting effects through energy and trade realignments.
Viktor Orbán's last stand, and the future of Europe's far right with Ivan Krastev
Q: If Orbán loses, how might he react and what does that mean for European politics?
A loss could trigger strategic recalibrations, with potential shifts in his approach to power, and could influence how other European far-right parties align or recalibrate their strategies in response to a new political landscape.
Viktor Orbán's last stand, and the future of Europe's far right with Ivan Krastev
Q: Now, do you think his ideological roots are structural or opportunistic?
Orbán combines a long-standing conservative nationalist lens with pragmatic adaptation to electoral realities, making him both rooted in Hungarian historical identity and highly opportunistic in policy and alliances.
