 Welcome to the most uncomfortable boardroom meeting between history and hysteria. What happens when a Kerala-born contrarian investment analyst who spent 30 years inside America's financial Death Star decides to perform satirical surgery on global capitalism? This podcast—where John Oliver's wit meets Fareed Zakaria's brain, where PowerPoint priests bless corporate cannibalism, and where the gods drop increasingly sophisticated Coke bottles on democracy's lawn. 🎭 MEET YOUR ALLEGORICAL TOUR GUIDES: Milton the Trickster Economist - Explaining why eating your future is "maximizing shareholder value" McSlicey the Priest - Sanctifying outsourcing with sacred spreadsheets General Quagmire - Fighting yesterday's war with tomorrow's budget Algorithm Annie - Optimizing society into digital dystopia The Roosevelt Ghosts - Haunting us with competent governance memories 🌏 THE PREMISE: From the author of "The Gods Must Be Crazy II: A Rooseveltian Renaissance for Trump 2.0," this podcast dissects how America became a Hunter civilization—killing tomorrow to feast today—while China plays Farmer, planting hundred-year harvests.

    Wall Street's priests told us offshoring was "win-win." Now McKinsey is laying off 10% of its workforce and China controls 90% of our rare earths, 80% of our solar panels, and the magnets in our F-35 fighter jets.

    Whoops.

    In this conversation with SBA lending expert Ray Drew, author Saji Madapat (The Gods Must Be Crazy II: A Rooseveltian Renaissance for Trump 2.0) unpacks the civilizational comedy of errors that turned American capitalism into a quarterly strip-mining operation—while China farmed for 2049.

    We discuss:

    00:00 Introduction: The $63 Trillion Heist

    01:08 From "Cyber Coolie" to Boardroom Strategist

    Corrections:

    The communist government came into power in Kerala in 1957, not 1954.

    I made a mistake with the number of gods (Muppathimukkodi (33 Crore) daivangal is a common phrase in Malayalam; “the Vedas, the term “33 koti devata.”)

    Origin of the “33 Crore Gods” Idea:

    • The common belief that there are “33 crore” (330 million) gods in India stems from an ancient Hindu text; the original Vedic tradition refers to 33 ‘koti’.

    • The Sanskrit word ‘koti,’ which can mean both ‘type’ and ‘crore’ (ten million).

    On this poignant 9/11 anniversary, I had the profound honor of joining Rick DellaRatta on The Jazz for Peace Podcast—a humanitarian artist whose peace-building mission earned personal endorsement from President Barack Obama.

    📚 Amazon Best Seller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFX51PL3

    "By bringing Israeli, Palestinian and American Jazz musicians together, Rick DellaRatta and Jazz for Peace have used the transcendent quality of music to promote peace and unity... the forces that unite us are far stronger than the forces that divide us." - President Barack Obama

    Episode 46 weaves an extraordinary tapestry of East meets West. From Marx in Kerala's communist classrooms to the C-suites of Fortune 10 giants. From ancient Theyyam rituals to cutting-edge AI architectures. Across 40+ countries and three decades, my journey reveals the hidden patterns behind the rise and fall of empires—delivered with humor that makes geopolitics surprisingly entertaining.

    This conversation sparked something magical: Rick's soul-stirring rendition of Elvis Presley's "In The Ghetto," connecting Memphis blues to global social justice through the universal language of music.

    As a Clinton Global GIFT Fellow, Big Four transformation architect, and Kala Sreshta laureate, I offer a unique lens—part mystic, part management consultant—to decode our beautifully complex world.
