Warwick Powell - Thermoeconomics, Iran, and the New Geopolitical Economy | Ep 533, Apr 23, 2026

Conversations on Groong - April 23, 2026In this Conversations on Groong episode, Warwick Powell joins us to examine the Iran war through the lens of thermoeconomics, energy flows, de-dollarization, and shifting global power. We discuss how oil, gas, AI, data centers, and financial infrastructure shape modern conflict, why the dollar-based order is under pressure, and how BRICS and the Global South are responding. The conversation also looks at techno-economic sovereignty, thermoeconomic imperialism, and the wider geopolitical stakes for the emerging world order.Warwick Powell’s Book: Thermoeconomics in a Time of Monsters: Rethinking Theory, China and International Geopolitical EconomyTopics:Thermoeconomics and global powerIran war and energyDe-dollarization and sovereigntyArmenia: AI data centers, SMRs, and imperialismGuest: Warwick PowellHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 533 | Recorded: April 21, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/533VIDEO: https://youtu.be/8upbRV0lzjE#WarwickPowell #IranWar #Thermoeconomics #DeDollarization #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #BRICS #AI #Geopolitics #DataCenters #GeoeconomicsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong
