The World Economy's Most Dangerous Choke Point

In this episode, I break down why the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important choke points in the global economy, and how the escalating Middle East conflict is driving up oil prices, gas supplies, inflation, shipping costs and global trade disruption. I look at the joint US-Israel strikes on Iran, attacks on major energy infrastructure including South Pars and Kharg Island, and why disruption in the Gulf can quickly affect households, businesses and governments from the UK to Japan. I also explain the wider economic fallout, including rising petrol prices, cost-push inflation, stagflation risks, pressure on central banks, and the winners and losers of this crisis, from Europe and Asia to Russia and the Gulf states. If you want a clear, accessible breakdown of the Middle East war, the Strait of Hormuz, oil supply shocks, LNG disruption and the global economic consequences, this episode gives you the full picture.

Israel - From Kibbutz to Start-Up Nation

Israel’s economic story is one of the most dramatic transformations of the modern era. In less than a century, it moved from an agrarian, aid-dependent society into a global technology powerhouse. In this episode, we break down how that happened. We look at the role of mass immigration in building human capital. The early influence of socialist ideology, state planning, and institutions like the kibbutz and Histadrut. The turning point of the 1980s, when hyperinflation forced painful liberalisation and market reform. And the unique role of the military in shaping Israel’s innovation culture, from cybersecurity to venture-backed startups. We also examine the policies that accelerated growth, including government-backed venture capital, global integration, and tight links between universities, defence, and industry. Finally, we tackle the hard questions. Inequality, reliance on foreign capital, demographic pressures, and ongoing geopolitical risk. This is the story of how history, conflict, culture, and policy combined to create the Start-Up Nation. And whether that model can survive the next chapter.

The United Kingdom - Can the UK overcome its productivity puzzle?

In the debut episode of Economic DNA of Nations, we explore the paradoxes of the UK economy. Once a manufacturing powerhouse, Britain has transformed into a service-driven financial hub—yet struggles with stagnant productivity, inequality, and regional divides. From Thatcher’s neoliberal reforms to Brexit’s lasting impact, we trace the forces that shaped today’s economy through multiple lenses—Keynesian, neoliberal, institutional, and developmental. Can the UK overcome its productivity puzzle, bridge its North–South divide, and lead the green transition? Or will it continue to rely on finance while falling behind global peers? Next time: Singapore—how a tiny nation built an outsized economic model.
