Let’s discuss: “Material World” by Ed Conway

We like to think we live in an era of apps, ideas, and frictionless convenience.

How adorable. We actually live in an era of sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium.

We’ll learn all about the raw materials that make modern civilization possible - who has them, who wants them, what it takes to get them, and what happens when the world decides it needs a lot more of everything, immediately.

You will never look at your phone, your windows, or your power outlet the same way again.
