What is power? How is it acquired and who owns it? We look at the economics of power, the power of networks and the "strength of weak ties" and the constant historic tension between vertical power, the type deployed by Putin, and horizontal power the type sought by Musk.

China (17% of the global economy) is at a stand still due to zero covid, the US is fighting inflation.
