This week Robert speaks with author and Sky News Economics Editor Ed Conway about his new book Material World. To say Robert is fascinated with this book is best explained by his admission that he recently missed two stops on London’s Underground recently because of it! In this podcast Ed takes Robert through his examination of 6 key materials (sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium) that have shaped and continue to shape our world, and we learn of the fascinating impact each has had on our daily lives.
