Today is all about China and America.

The G2, the big two, are meeting today in Beijing.

We're going to look at a little bit of Greek economic history.

We're going to look at pre-First World War economic history.

We're also going to look at Rea Politics from the point of view of today.

That's all coming up.

America and China in a couple of minutes on the podcast.

We're going to be talking about America,

where we're talking about the summit between

This is seen as the meeting of the G2, the two great powers in the world.
