Brian takes a look at some of the key global issues dominating politics as 2023 begins. In this preview, he discusses the huge shifts taking place in the world's oil markets as a consequence of the war in Ukraine and the price cap imposed on Russian exports. At other points, the seminar discussed the latest military developments in Ukraine, COVID-19 response in China, and the long-term evolution of capitalism and its world system since the 1970s.
