Why people recommend it
The New Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan explores contemporary geopolitics, global trade corridors, and the shifting balance of economic power across Eurasia. Chris Williamson featured the author and his book on episode 108 of Modern Wisdom, released on October 3, 2019. At the start of the interview, Williamson held up a physical copy of the book and noted that many listeners would already be familiar with Frankopan's previous Sunday Times bestselling work. Throughout the discussion, Williamson asked the author how this new volume related to its predecessor and what motivated him to write it, using the book as a framework to analyze modern global developments. Towards the end of the episode, Williamson strongly encouraged his audience to check out The New Silk Roads, letting them know that direct links to the book were available in the show notes below. By engaging deeply with the text on the podcast, Williamson helped highlight Frankopan's expansive historical perspective, offering listeners a clearer understanding of how ancient trade routes continue to influence modern international relations, economic partnerships, and the future trajectory of global superpowers in the twenty-first century.
