Multipolarity is a distribution of power in which more than two states have similar amounts of power.
We are in a drastically different world from the one most of us grew up in. This has been proven by the rapid escalation in the events in the middle east over the last six weeks. No longer are we in a world where, essentially, the US run the show – and this has huge global implications – especially for Europe. Philip Pilkington is a macroeconomist and podcaster who co-hosts the ’Multipolarity’ podcast. He sat down with Aaron to talk about what we get wrong about China, cheap high quality weapons technology and what we can learn from the Treaty of Versailles.
