Merryn Talks Money · Ed Conway on the Hidden Supply Chains That Run the World · 14 Sep 2026 podcast

Welcome back to Meren Talks Money, the podcast in which people who know the markets explain the markets. matched

I am Merrin Somerset Webb, and this week I am speaking with Ed Conway, economics and data editor at Sky News, columnist for the Times and Sunday Times, and author of the best-selling material world. matched

He joins me to discuss his new book, Trade World, a sweeping history of the global networks that connect us and the forces now threatening to pull them apart. matched

We talk about how trade in everyday goods, from bread and clothing to cars, has shaped economies, politics, and human history, why today's supply chains are far more complex than they appear, and what happens when the system we've come to depend on starts to fracture. matched

Ed, welcome to Maron Talks Money. matched

Thank you for having me back. matched

Right, Ed, this is a story about trade. matched

And we start we start with you go through three different things. matched

You go through bread, you go through cloth, and you go through cars. matched

And you effectively give us a a really uh well, well considered history of trade throughout the ages. matched

But I'm afraid I'm going to hope that the reader will go and take care of a lot of that early stuff themselves. matched

And I want us to really look at at where we are now. matched

And in your life. matched

The last chapter chapter on cars is where you really talk about modern day trade a lot. matched

And you talk about the fact that we've moved from a world where everything is made locally to a world where everything is made regionally to a world where we we have um we think that we have free trade to a world now in which basically the entire world is a a giant supply chain, and you compare it to uh matched

um the the fungal network between but uh beneath us the um how do you say it? matched
