Henry Kissinger is a prominent diplomat whose ideas on great-power conflicts remain relevant today. He has served as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under two American presidents.

Lasting for over eight hours, the podcast covers three main themes: China’s role, artificial intelligence, and the weakness of US leadership. The podcast is hosted by Zanny Minton Beddoes, with Edward Carr also participating. The conversation can be found in full on The Economist’s website.
