Why Geopolitics Matters
Geopolitics isn’t just for scholars; it tells you why your phone might be more expensive, why travel routes change, and how food prices shift. When a country ramps up defense spending, it can trigger trade talks, affect global markets, and even spill into local job markets. Understanding these moves helps you make smarter choices—whether you’re voting, investing, or just chatting about the news.
