Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle.
We're exploring the building blocks of how our world works today with writer and broadcaster Ed Conway.
Ed's book, Material World, a substantial story of our past and future, takes him on a global trip, tracking down the pathways channel raw materials such as sand, salt, copper, oil or lithium into everyday essential products such as our computers, our phones, life saving medicines and the roofs over our heads.
Ed is economics and data editor of Sky News and a regular columnist for the Times and Sunday Times.
So he knows a thing or two about how economics and commerce work.
I spoke to him a little while back during 2023.
So with no further ado, lets dive into the material world with Ed Conway.
We've got about 60 minutes today.
