The Permanent Wealth Podcast 08: Izabella Kaminska of The Blind Spot

Today’s discussion is with Izabella Kaminska, journalist at the FT for many years, but has now moved out into her own independent publication called The Blind Spot (www.the-blindspot.com)

Izabella and I discuss a number of topics based a lot around the current state of the media.

There are a number of key learnings and reminders for me from this conversation. Namely:

• “Truth is the first casualty of war” has never been more true than today in regards to Russia/Ukraine;
• When we look through this lens, we also see that the response to the Covid pandemic was exactly the same, i.e. just like a war;
• As much as we try to deny it, Twitter hysteria has shown it impacts both Government policy AND public mood;

And make sure to listen to the end where Izabella describes

• The major geopolitical implications we are facing over the next 20 years.

I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation with Izabella Kaminska.
