Læs mere The Economy of the Collapse

The UK has fallen. Australia is under stress. France is imploding. And Canada is collapsing.This is not a statement driven by outrage.It is an observation grounded in patterns.Across the Western world, something deeper than a typical economic cycle is unfolding. Nations once defined by stability, institutional strength, and upward mobility are now facing structural pressures they can no longer easily absorb.In the United Kingdom, prolonged stagnation, declining productivity, and persistent cost-of-living pressures have eroded confidence in long-term economic resilience. Growth remains weak, real wages have struggled to recover, and public systems are increasingly strained.Australia, long seen as a model of economic stability, is now confronting rising household debt, housing affordability crises, and growing pressure on infrastructure as population growth outpaces capacity. The tension is no longer theoretical — it is lived.France is experiencing a different form of fracture. Social unrest, political fragmentation, and repeated waves of protest point to a deeper disconnect between institutions and the population. The system still stands — but it is no longer aligned.And then there is Canada.Canada is not collapsing in a dramatic, visible way.It is collapsing structurally.Productivity has stagnated. GDP per capita has weakened. Housing affordability has reached crisis levels in major cities. Public deficits continue to expand while long-term growth drivers remain uncertain. At the same time, population growth is accelerating at a pace that infrastructure, healthcare, and housing systems are struggling to absorb.The result is a quiet but powerful shift:more people, less mobility, and increasing pressure on the foundations of everyday life.This is not a series of isolated national issues.It is a pattern.A pattern of systems under strain — economically, socially, and institutionally.This podcast exists to examine that pattern.Not through fear.Not through ideology.But through clarity.Because decline rarely announces itself.It reveals itself — slowly, through data, through lived experience, and through the growing gap between narrative and reality.If you are paying attention, you can see it.If you are willing to look clearly, you can understand it.And if you understand it —you can navigate what comes next.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
