Samo Burja | The Curious Worldview Podcast #174
Samo Burja founded Bismarck Analysis, of which Bismarck Brief has spun off, which is a consulting and research firm that investigates the political and institutional landscape of society.
I’ve listened to and read hundreds of hours of Samo Burja. He’s prolific both in writing and talking, and applies an academic analysis to express his interests. His interests are those which overlap with mine, and as such, should as well overlap with yours since you have selected this podcast.
He’s been on my list of dream guests ever since this podcast began, and so it was a huge thrill to get a chance to finally record something with him.
We cover the central thread of Samo’s work… why groups thrive and fail, the Wallenberg family of Sweden, Nassim Taleb and as well Samo offers an intriguing answer to the country he is most bullish on.
