Today on the show, Jay is joined by renowned geopolitical analyst Professor Warwick Powell. The pair explore the cultural and strategic differences that drive the global ambitions of the East and West, from China's rapid infrastructure expansion to America's legalistic approach. Discover how these dynamics are reshaping the future of global markets, particularly in the mining sector, and what it means for investors. Join us as we bridge the gap between geopolitics, commodities, and markets.
