Hi readers, I hope this finds you well. I wanted to share with you a recent podcast that I had the pleasure of recording together with my friend Esfandyar Batmanghelidj - who is rapidly turning into the Oprah Winfrey of sanctions with his great new series The Sanctions Age - and Nicholas Mulder, Assistant Professor of History at Cornell University and the author of the award-winning book ‘The Economic Weapon’. We had a wonderful conversation discussing sanctions in both the past and the present, from Professor Mulder’s leading research on the development of sanctions in the lead up to World War II as well as the state of the current Economic War between Russia and the West. I think its one of the more productive conversations around the subject that I have had the pleasure of taking part in of late and hope that you will enjoy as well!
