We are in a global propaganda war between different cultures,

And we see that playing out in Ireland or Britain and America and Canada and Australia, all over the place, let alone the European Union.

And ironically, the World Cup is another chapter in that particular culture war book.

And that's, I think, where we should end it.

This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland, proud sponsors of my own festival, the Doki Book Festival, which is on the 18th and 21st of June.

Now, in Doki, you're going to expect four days of ideas, of literature, of politics, of economics, comedy, and culture.

with over 100 writers, including Salman Rushdie, Tim Berners-Lee, the man who founded the internet, and of course, Booker Prize winner Anne Endright.

Join us this summer in Dockie.

Coming up on the podcast in a couple of minutes, we are going down Mexico way.

We're looking at, against the background of the World Cup, we're looking at Mexico, the football team, the country, the politics, the narco state, and the complications of running this enormous economy wedged between Latin America or South America and North America.

That's all coming up.

Mexico in a couple of minutes.

To understand the economy, you have to understand human nature.

How you doing there?

It's time for the podcast today.

It's all things Mexican, John.
