πŸŽ™οΈ: A Curious Worldview Podcast - https://curiousworldview.buzzsprout.com/1485736

The following is with Ed Conway, who has written one of the most intensely curious books, it is called Material World and looks at some of these raw ingredients that have shaped the world we live in.

Namely, these materials are sand, salt, copper, oil, iron and lithium.Β 

Nothing will give you a greater appreciation for globalisation and the wondrous efficiency of global trade than this book will. It is kind of a miracle that things cost as cheaply as they do, andΒ  are as ubiquitous as they are.
