82 - Saudi Arabia: A Global Economic Powderkeg - a podcast by The Red Line

Saudi Arabia is experiencing numerous simultaneous challenges at the moment, ranging from royal infighting, a rearming Yemen, a diverging population, and a growing threat from Iran. Tasked with guiding the Saudis through this storm is MBS, a leader whose track record leaves a bit to be desired. What is troubling most regional analysts though, is that the global reliance on Saudi oil means that if Saudi Arabia were to falter here, it might take down several Western Economies with it.

- Jane Kinninmont (ELN)
- Sanam Vakil (Chatham House)
