Listen To This Interview As A Podcast Instead🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/tim-marshall-power-of-geography/Tim Marshall returns to the podcast!To continue along with the international theme and enormous popularity of ‘Prisoners Of Geography‘, Tim Marshall recently published the natural follow-on to this wonderfully geopolitical lens through which to measure the world… ‘The Power Of Geography‘.It is the themes within this freshly minted book those which Tim and I discuss in this interview. Tim comments on everything from Australia to China to the UK to MBS to Saudi Arabia and even to space. Tim even comments on an accusation often made against him that he is taking a geographical determinist’s view of the world – making for a very interesting consideration for what are the actual building blocks of the world we currently inhabit.Tim doesn’t disappoint with his broad geopolitical erudition.Jump In On My Newsletter 📋 🔑 - https://atlasgeographica.com/subscribe-----00:00 – Introduction06:54 – Donald Bradman (Greatest Cricketer Of All Time)10:43 – UK & Australia Pissing Off Their Main Trading Partners14:24 – On Geographical Determinism21:44 – The Time I Tried Exporting Kangaroo Meat To China23:56 – Ethiopia & Egypt – The Ultimate Example Of The Power Of Geography33:17 – MBS – Mohammad Bin Salman – A Figure For Good?44:03 – Tim Marshall On Space – The Expanding Frontier53:20 – My Ruminations On The Power Of Geography-----LEAVE YOUR ENERGY IN THE ALGORITHM - 5 STARS & SUBSCRIBE!Are you into Nassim Taleb?
