Six Weeks of Fuel in Europe
About this episode
James Meadway discusses Europe's dwindling jet fuel supplies, the profits of investment banks amid the Iran War, and the future of energy markets while honoring economist Robert Skidelsky.
On this week's Macrodose, James Meadway looks at how Europe now has only six weeks’ worth of jet fuel supplies left (1:52), how the big six investment banks are making record profits on the back of the Iran War (7:22), and some positive news around the decline of fossil fuels, and the future of our energy markets (11:48). James also pays tribute to the life and work of economist and biographer of Keynes Robert Skidelsky. Subscribe to support the show at patreon.com/Macrodose.
