Petro Politics

On this week’s Macrodose, James Meadway breaks down: the economics behind Rishi Sunak’s decision to allow over a hundred new drilling licences for North Sea oil and gas (0.43), the continuing economic slowdown in China (5.32) and a listener question - what is “derisking” and what does it tell us about the end of neoliberalism (9.05)?
