The "energy transition" is actually a shift from relying on fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas) to using metals to generate energy. However, extracting metals has always been a significant environmental and political issue, especially for cities. This problem has been around for centuries, even ancient Roman writers wrote about it. In this program, Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, talks about the historic use of fossil fuels and its economic, social and environmental impacts to the transition today to extracting metals for energy, dominated by China. Thompson points out that extracting resources will always have environmental and social costs. To mitigate these risks, she says we need to find ways to reduce international competition and ecological damage. This requires acknowledging that the idea of endless progress, which was fueled by fossil fuels, has its limits. And she says we must prioritize sustainability and responsible resource management to create a better future. Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures" [Public Affairs] [Business] [Show ID: 40428]

‘The world as we knew it is gone' – UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's response to Trump's tariffs President Donald Trump recently announced a 90-day pause for his monumental ‘liberation day' tariffs while at the same time escalating a dangerous trade war with China. Trump's announcement came just weeks after import taxes on all goods entering the US were introduced, in the biggest upheaval of international trade in decades. And beyond the chaos and endless news cycle of the last few days, Trump's key advisers are introducing a broader set of fringe economic ideas that they believe will transform politics and economics at home, as well as the foundations of US power abroad. In May 2025, Helen Thompson, expert on the long history of globalisation and author of the acclaimed book Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century came to Intelligence Squared to make sense of the seismic shifts we are witnessing in the global economy and how they will impact us here in the UK. She was joined on stage by BBC broadcaster Jonny Dymond for this event in our Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook series in partnership with Guinness Global Investors. This recording is part of The Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook series of events made in partnership with Guinness Global Investors, an independent British fund manager that helps both individuals and institutions harness the future drivers of growth to achieve their investment goals.

Esben og Jakob taler om en ny, uhellig alliance mellem Liberal Alliance og Socialdemokratiet, som kan blive Venstres helt store problem frem mod næste valg. De ser de nærmere på Marine Le Pens dom og til slut tager de den politiske Beaufortskala frem for at måle styrken på den ministerstorm, der rejser sig imod Lars Aagaard. Ugens emner i #dkpol:Marine Le Pen (11:13): Der er faldet dom i sagen om misbrug af EU-midler, og udover fængsel og bøde betyder det, at Marine Le Pen ikke kan stille op til præsidentvalget, uanset om hun anker sagen eller ej. Det har gjort hende vred. Så vred, at hun kalder det en politisk handling mod hende. Det har fået Jakob og Esben til at diskutere, om det er udemokratisk eller ej, og der er blevet læst op på både franske love og rumænske paralleller for at finde svarLiberal Alliance (22:38): Nicolai Wammen har fået sit ministerie til at regne på Liberal Alliances nye økonomiske plan og kalder den ultraliberal og for omvendt Robin Hood. Det lyder som valgkampsretorik, men det interessante er, hvem retorikken er vendt mod, og hvem den ikke er vendt mod. Det ser Esben og Jakob nærmere på – for hvad betyder det for Venstre, at de ikke er Socialdemokratiets største modstander?Lars Aagaard (33:28): Der er ministerstorm og uvejr på vej mod Lars Aagaard, og han er blevet indkaldt til samråd i næste uge. Men når han overhovedet dertil? Esben og Jakob vender, hvad ministerstormen udspringer af, og hvad ‘the end game' er for den.Værter: Esben Schjørring, politisk redaktør på Altinget, og Jakob Nielsen, ansvarshavende chefredaktør på Altinget.Producer: Emma Klitnæs, podcastassistent.Shownotes:Jakobs anbefaling: Episoden The rise of the multipolar world order fra Unherds podcast med Helen Thompson og Tom McTague, These TimesEsbens anbefaling: Økonomiprofessor Olivier Blanchards profil på XEsbens analyse af trekantsdramaet mellem Liberal Alliance, Venstre og Socialdemokratiet Hosted on Acast.

They explore the facts surrounding the Palisades fire and discuss a question from Joel's recent post on X: "To repeat: if you want to believe that the California wildfires were caused by climate change, I'm not going to argue with you. But I am going to ask why the people whom we elected, who also believe that climate change is a threat, did absolutely nothing to prepare for the risk."Later, Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge and co-host of These Times, examines how Europe's short-sighted policies gave China dominance in the car industry and the implications for the global economy.

Given how connected these issues are to the delicate balance of our world, how can we increase awareness and preparation for future crises?

This is the second instalment of a three-part episode. We once thought liberalism could and should be universal. But recent decades have shown that this presumption could be flawed. Now, with the re-election of Donad Trump in the US, liberalism has fallen out of favour at the ballot box with populism and authoritarianism taking root globally. Where do we go from here? On the day of the US election, November 6th, John Gray, the renowned philosopher whose ideas often examine the idea of liberalism and ask whether its future is assured, discussed his latest book, The New Leviathans: Thoughts After Liberalism. Joining Gray in conversation to discuss the book and the pivotal events of November 2024 was Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University and author of Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century.

For the last episode in this season of great political films David explores Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966), which changed the face of political movie-making forever. Filmed to look like archive footage, featuring actual participants in the events it describes, and showing both sides of the vicious contest between insurgents and counter-insurgents, it humanises a horrifying conflict. It also raises the question: where is the line between realism and rage?Coming on Saturday: a new bonus episode to accompany this series in which David talks to Helen Thompson about Apocalypse Now, the ultimate film about war and madness.

The U.K. is holding its first national election in four and a half years on July 4 and the polling suggests the Labour Party will make historic gains, booting Conservatives from power for the first time in 14 years. To get a sense of the forces behind the dramatic shift since 2019, two longtime friends of the podcast weigh in.

Malý průvodce velkým francouzsko-britsko-americkým volebním maratonem! Jak Francouzi chtějí řešit nespokojenost se svým filozofem na trůně? Jak dlouhý je seznam hříchů britských Konzervativců, a kdo je vystěhuje z Downing street? A je na amerických volbách něco zajímavějšího, než to, že Donald Trump lže kudy chodí a Joe Biden možná v půlce procházky zapomene, kam vlastně šel? A co mají všechna tato volební klání společného?

In the second episode in our series on bad ideas David talks to the political economist Helen Thompson about the gold standard, which was meant to anchor the world economy until it all fell apart a hundred years ago. Why does gold so often appear like a stable basis for money in an unstable world – and why not silver? What made the gold standard a source of instability instead? How can money work if it has no material basis? And is quantitative easing a bad idea as well?For ad-free listening and bonus episodes – including more bad ideas – subscribe to PPF+ www.ppfideas.comNext time on The History of Bad Ideas: Kathleen Stock on Facebook Friends Hosted on Acast.

Double episode! On Giovanni Arrighi's Adam Smith in Beijing. [Patreon Tier II & III Exclusive] We wrap up the 2023 syllabus by taking on the second half of Arrighi's book, in which he analyses the over-reach and decline of the US empire, and whether China's rise and role in world affairs presents a different model, one that might be more peaceful. We discuss: How important was the neo-cons' Project for a New American Century? What were the long-term consequences of the Iraq invasion? What do we make of Arrighi's theoretical account of imperialism and the tension between territorial and capitalistic logics? Did the USA represent a "world state" after WWII, and how did it fail? What is the world-historic meaning of China's development? Do we buy Arrighi's attempt at a Smithean vision of inter-civilizational harmony?

Owynn Palmer-Atkin is joined by Ian Baraclough and The Fosse Way's Helen Thompson reflect on Enzo Maresca's pre-Ipswich press conference, where he discussed the current injury situation and the lack of transfer activity.
An agreement has been reached at Cop 28 that includes a commitment to phasing out the use of fossil fuels, with some hailing it as an historic moment in the struggle to mitigate climate change. But an agreement is not a substitute for action and the actions required to achieve Net Zero by 2050 amount to one of the most fundamental changes in all human history. The effort is going to have repercussions for how we live, how states interact with each other and for domestic politics. To discuss all this Hugh is joined by Helen Thompson, professor of political economy at Cambridge and cohost of These Times podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service. To mark 50 years since the global oil crisis, we're focusing on oil - from discovery to disaster. We hear from Dr Fadhil Chalabi, then the deputy secretary general of Opec (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) about what happened during the 1973 crisis. Our guest Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, explains why oil became the lifeblood of industrial economies during the last two centuries. We also learn how Kazakhstan signed ‘the deal of the century' to become a fossil fuel powerhouse thanks to the Tengiz Oil Field. Plus, why in 1956, not everyone welcomed the discovery of oil in the Nigerian village of Oloibiri. We find out more about the devastating impact of one of the world's largest oil spills - when the Amoco Cadiz tanker ran aground off the coast of France in 1978. The wreck released more than 220,000 tonnes of crude oil into the sea. And finally, how an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian Amazon fought a court battle to protect their land from oil drilling – and won.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Professor Helen Thompson of Cambridge University, author of Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century, as we take a big picture perspective on the current global macro landscape. A key focus of Helen's work is the role of energy markets in understanding global macro developments and we delve into Europe's energy dependence on Russia. We hear about the factors which enabled Europe avoid an energy shortage in the winter of 2022 but why energy markets remain a risk factor for the Eurozone economy. We discuss the shift towards more proactive industrial policy in the US, what is driving it and how it relates to deglobalization. We also discuss China, its economic challenges and its evolving role in the Middle East and whether the global economy is truly fragmenting into distinct trading blocs. We get Helen's perspective on the US dollar's reserve status and why the US's role in the international monetary order is as strong as ever and get her thoughts on the next year's US presidential election. -----EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “The Many Flavors of Trend Following” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Helen on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 02:36 - Introduction to Helen Thompson 06:31 - Why did she write her book, "Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century"?10:15 - The outlook for Europe's oil and gas dependency 17:23 - A longer-term structural challenge? 21:21 - A rebirth of the industrial...
In Episode 318 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with political and financial historians Edward Chancellor, Russell Napier, and Helen Thompson. All three have appeared individually on the podcast before and joined Demetri ahead of his latest Genius community dinner in London to discuss the changing nature of the international economic and political order. Many of the material changes we are experiencing today are driven by the reversal of multi-decade trends in demographics, globalization, and low-cost, carbon-based energy sources. The ripple effects of these changes on inflation, risk rates, wealth & income distribution, national security, and the ruling legitimacy of national governments are already starting to materialize. Learning to navigate these changes is crucial if you want to remain ahead of the curve. Today's conversation is meant to help you do just that. The episode's second hour begins with a discussion about the energy transition and its geostrategic consequences for resource-rich countries like the US and Russia, for countries that are heavily dependent on energy imports like those in the European Union, and for China, which is investing enormous sums of money into renewables and other, non-carbon-based sources of energy. The panel also discusses the possibility of a rapprochement between the US, Europe, and Russia, avenues for peace between the US and China, and some of the industries and sectors that are positioned to benefit, as well as those that you will want to avoid in this new economic and political paradigm.
