About this listen

 Is geopolitics really about ideology? Or is it a global portfolio reallocation? In this conversation, Dr. Warwick Powell reframes Trump 2.0, Canada’s trade pivot, Europe’s energy scramble, and the AI boom as symptoms of a deeper structural shift. Powell argues the West has built too many abstractions and not enough productive capacity. We explore whether AI data centers are net-positive infrastructure, what it would actually take to rebuild a durable, energy-secure economy and so much more.
