Global Economic Growth Is Collapsing (Here's Why) || Peter Zeihan May 01, 2023

Show notes

When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) releases its least optimistic report in the last 50 years, alarm bells should go off for everyone.

Crumbling Infrastructure in the Russian Taiga || Peter Zeihan Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

The terrain in northern Russia complicates building infrastructure enough. But in the aftermath of the Ukraine War (and without the West's involvement), I wouldn't expect this critical infrastructure in Russia to come back online in the next decade.
