  • Overabundance of abundance…

    I’m supportive but skeptical that all this abundance talk is going anywhere. Your best episodes are when you dive into politics and history. Would love a more even balance.

  • The Best Geopolitics and Current Affairs Podcast Available

    Marshall is one of the most effective podcast hosts. His ability to interview the world’s leading thinkers and draw from his own vast knowledge about foreign and domestic affairs makes this truly the bleeding edge of thought and discussion on these topics.

    I find myself envying Marshall and his ability to go toe to toe with the world’s leading thinkers on topics as diverse as the war in Ukraine, and US housing policy.

    Huge kudos to Marshall and the guests for providing one of the most impor... more

  • Interesting show

    This is a pretty useful exploration of a historic political evolution that is happening in real time. Unrelated: I would suggest a drinking game. Every time Marshall starts a list by saying “one” or “A” and never comes back to finish the list with “two” or “B” - take a drink.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

570 | Dan Wang: China's Engineering State, America's Lawyerly Society, and the Competition for the 21st Century
Q: Can you explain what those two terms mean and their implications?
Dan explains that China is an engineering state where leaders come from an engineering background, while the US is a lawyerly society where legal professionals dominate leadership roles.
570 | Dan Wang: China's Engineering State, America's Lawyerly Society, and the Competition for the 21st Century
Q: How would you describe what we're experiencing right now between these two countries?
Dan expresses that it's challenging to define the relationship simply, but suggests a parallel to a 'Cold War' dynamic.
569 | The Shah's Fall, Khomeini's Rise, and What It Means for the U.S. and Iran Today
Q: How should we think about our guilt within the context of this story?
At a certain point, history is actually just history, and it's not helpful. But history still does matter.
569 | The Shah's Fall, Khomeini's Rise, and What It Means for the U.S. and Iran Today
Q: What was it like writing or preparing to release a backwards facing piece of history as this moment was happening?
It was very odd, and of course, quite unexpected. Iran has a way of periodically kind of percolating up and onto the international consciousness.
568 | Jon Lee Anderson: Was Afghanistan the Graveyard of America's Empire?
Q: What mistakes do you think need to be recognized regarding the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan?
The original sin of our involvement can be traced back to the very beginning, and we had to reckon with the reality that nation-building was necessary.
