Summary

In the latest episode of The Grant Williams podcast, I’m joined by Global Forecaster, David Murrin who offers us some valuable insight into his background before we dive into a riveting discussion about lateral versus linear thinking, the cycles of empires, and the geopolitical tensions between the West and China. David argues that the West is in decline while China is an ascendant power seeking global dominance and predicts an escalating series of conflicts, potentially leading to a third world war in the coming decade as China seeks to displace the US as the global hegemon. David’s detailed analysis of China’s strategic approach and the West’s vulnerabilities make a compelling case that the world is heading towards a major confrontation with grave consequences. Some of the issues discussed may prove challenging for listeners, but engaging with these difficult topics and considering their implications for the future are, without doubt, an important use of your time. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

0:16.0	Before we get going, here's the bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should be considered as investment advice. This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.
0:20.0	So while we hope you find it both informative and entertaining, please do your own research or speak
0:26.2	to a financial advisor before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets.
0:30.3	And now, on with the show.
0:33.0	Welcome everybody to another edition of the Grant Williams Podcast.
0:40.0	I have been running around with my tail on fire so I apologize that it's been a
0:45.9	while and the podcast has been a bit sporadic in the last couple of months but we will be
0:49.6	back to a slightly more normal frequency in the next couple of months and I'm delighted to say that my guest today to start that process is David Murrin.
0:58.1	David Murrin is someone whose work I follow for a long time and in my recent conversation with Stephen Wilkinsom, which hopefully
1:04.6	you've listened to if you haven't, do cue that up because the response to that has been extraordinary.
1:09.2	Stephen jogged in my mind that I really needed to try and get David to come on the podcast and I'm very happy today to say that we've managed to find a date and so you're going to hear our conversation shortly.
1:18.4	David has a fascinating background which he goes into so I won't preempt that other than to say his
1:24.4	website David Murrin.co.uk has everything there you would need and I cannot recommend
1:29.6	highly enough to follow him on Twitter you'll find him at Global Forecaster
1:33.0	without the last East that's Forecaster. His work is
1:37.0	exceptional. We are going to talk about wars, we're going to talk about
1:40.0	cycles, we're going to talk about history, we're going to talk about
1:41.9	all the things that I love, but David does so in a way that is profoundly challenging.
1:47.5	And I think this conversation is going to be difficult for a lot of people.
1:51.2	I would urge you to stay with it because the things we
1:54.0	discuss are incredibly important and David is a very eloquent, very knowledgeable
1:59.6	commentator and someone who has an ability to disseminate information and raise difficult topics in a way that are remarkably thought-provoking.
