⚡ The US China AI power race is rewiring commodities. 2025 returns rode metals not energy as rate cuts fed gold and industry. Now two deeper currents take over. Commodities sit at the core of tech and geopolitical rivalry while oil fades and LNG floods the system for years. Power, supply, leverage.

Who converts commodities into power? Who is constrained by institutions? Who controls the bottlenecks? Who can endure the friction?

USA-ताकतवर लोगों के फैसले तय करते हैं दुनिया की अर्थव्यवस्था की दिशा

अक्सर यह माना जाता है कि दुनिया के सबसे ताकतवर इंसान वही होते हैं, जो सबसे अमीर हों, लेकिन हकीकत इससे अलग है।

I can't recommend listening to Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson enough... they're two amazing economists whose discussions are often way over my head but are at least understandable enough to want to keep listening to more. This recent interview with them covering the economics behind the Ukraine War is great: https://watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=CkQCSPM2QUY
...as is this intro discussion to a 3-part series on how money, the dollar system, and US economic hegemony work (or don't): https://watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=Ew21FOlftkU
For me, who spent so much of my adult life feeling ever more trapped by an atomizing identity-politics-based (and not in the Combahee River Collective sense, which was largely about centering Black women) leftist culture, listening to these two speak about broad geopolitical paradigms and who holds real power within them is like waking up from a coma...
