Welcome to One Man’s View of the World, a geopolitical podcast drawing on the profound insights of Singapore’s founding father and former Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. With over 70 years of experience navigating international affairs and hobnobbing with every major global leader from Mao Zedong to Barack Obama, Lee offers an unvarnished, clear-eyed analysis of where the world is heading over the next two decades.

This podcast goes beyond dry geopolitical treatises to probe the psyche of different societies, exploring what makes them tick, what their people truly believe, and their ultimate chances for survival in tomorrow's balance of power.

Join us as we dive into Lee Kuan Yew's candid and often startling perspectives on:

• China's Unstoppable Rise: How a nation obsessed with strong central control is navigating its return to the top of the global hierarchy.
• America's Resilience: Why the United States, despite its debt and political gridlock, will maintain its pre-eminence through unmatched innovation and never-say-die dynamism.
• Europe's Decline: The structural discord of the eurozone, and how rigid labour laws and the welfare state are threatening the continent's future.
• Asian Flashpoints & Challenges: Japan's slow stroll into demographic mediocrity, the grand hoax of North Korea, and how the caste system holds back India's vast potential.
• The Middle East & The Global Economy: The illusion of the Arab Spring, the intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the future of global free trade.

Whether you are a student of history, a current executive, or a future leader, this podcast delivers a masterclass in realpolitik. Tune in to understand the broad shape of tomorrow’s world from the perspective of one of the 20th century's most formidable statesmen
