In his new book Blood & Treasure, Duncan Weldon overturns long-held ideas about war and economics. On the show today, he and Aaron discuss:
If paying protection money to the Vikings was a good thing
Why discovering America was an economic disaster for Spain
The connection between historic battles in India and its development today
They also touch on European rearmament, long unpronounceable German words, Keir Starmer’s growth strategy, and what a total war might look like for Britain’s digital and services economy.
