This week, Sam unpacks the key themes of Season 2 with Gideon Rachman, Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator at the Financial Times.


From the unpredictability of Trump-era policies to the evolving dynamics within Europe and China’s strategic economic manoeuvres, Gideon offers a sharp, nuanced analysis of today’s geopolitical landscape.


The conversation delves into the challenges for centrists in an era marked by inequality, deglobalisation, and militarisation—highlighting what these trends mean for leaders, investors, and citizens alike and also covers China's economic strategy and the heightened geopolitical tensions leading to increased militarisation around the world.
