Historian Stephen R. Bown joins Jay Martin to explore the rise and
fall of empires through the lens of trade, technology, and human
behavior. Drawing from his acclaimed book Merchant Kings, Bown
connects past global power shifts—from sea otters and nutmeg to oil
and cobalt—with today’s geopolitical landscape. They dive into
cycles of history, proxy warfare, and the opaque ties between
states and corporations, revealing how disruptive technologies and
seemingly trivial commodities have repeatedly reshaped the world.
This conversation offers deep historical insight with striking
relevance to today’s investors and global citizens. For more
