Charting The Rise Of A Multipolar World Order Philip Pilkington is an unorthodox macroeconomist. Andrew Collingwood is an equally skeptical journalist. Lately, both have realised that - post-Ukraine, post-Afghanistan withdrawal - the old, unipolar, US-led world order is in its death throes. In its wake, something new is being born. But what shape will that take? That will depend on a combustible c... more

This show often has an interesting take which offers a countervailing view to a lot of mainstream media takes. This has some value in itself.
They often get it wildly wrong, though, and clearly have an agenda- nominative determinism at work.
If it can be construed as a decline in the influence of the US, it will be. Russia is apparently “a great power” (Lol!). Weeks ago, they were confidently predicting fuel shortages in the UK. Guess what? Still no real shortages. They just compared Hezbolla... more
Brought here via the excellent Neutrality Studies podcast. Excellent topics , lively geopolitical discussion and thought about movement of capital and fascinating projections about social change. Given up on the Guardian and other UK legacy media as they all say the same things and intelligent debate in MSM has sadly died a quiet death.
Geopolitical perspectives that you’ll hear here first, though their crystal ball sees a parallel world without the chaos of climate change. To Philip and Andrew, climate is a “controversial” subject, which is the line the BBC took in the days when they wheeled on Nigel Lawson for “balance” whenever the subject was broached. Pilkington’s sneering disregard for those he disagrees with feels manipulative.
These guys are so far off the mark it’s embarrassing!
I don’t think they have actually called one thing right…
Right wing conspiratorial nonsense..
Regardless of the topic, this podcast seems to push repetitive variations of similar geopolitical pet theories, which are rarely rigorous or measurably empirical. They can be interesting, but only in the way any story can be interesting if novel and well-told.
Additionally, too often (but not always) the hosts are far more assiduous in their application of scepticism to open Western societies than they are to their closed peers, whose “facts” are too readily accepted at face value.

Geopolitics and macroeconomics intersect as two regular hosts dissect off-radar news stories through a multipolar lens, exploring how energy, finance, technology, and strategic alliances shape a shifting world order. Episodes frequently weave historical analogies with contemporary tensions, featuring guest voices that challenge conventional Western narratives and push for deeper consideration of rising powers and systemic shifts. Noteworthy is the show's willingness to center underexplored angles—such as energy security, deindustrialization, and AI/chip geopolitics—while maintaining a provocative, debate-driven tone that appeals to policy-minded listeners and industry professionals evaluating risk and opportunity in a rapidly changing globa... more
