Jayant Bhandari: The World Is Falling Apart And It's Not An Accident

In this episode, Farzin Irani sits down with Jayant Bhandari — institutional investor, writer, natural resource specialist, and founder of the annual Capitalism & Morality seminar in Vancouver — for one of the most provocative and wide-ranging conversations on the show to date.Jayant pulls no punches. He argues that democracy is an anti-meritocratic system that inevitably elevates unqualified leaders, that Western civilisation is in structural decline, that India's economic miracle is a statistical illusion, and that East Asia — not the West — will be the stable foundation of the world in the decades ahead.From the collapse of Western institutions and the failure of open-border immigration policies, to the reality of investing in India vs China, to what capitalism actually requires to function — this is a conversation that challenges virtually everything mainstream media won't say.In this episode we cover:✅ Why Jayant believes democracy is anti-meritocratic by design✅ The structural collapse of Western civilisation — and what comes next✅ Trump, chaos, and why Jayant thinks he's done something commendable✅ Canada's decline — from safe streets to no-go zones✅ Why India's GDP growth is a statistical illusion✅ The reality of corruption, bribery, and dysfunction in India✅ Why East Asia will be the most stable region of the 21st century✅ China vs India — why comparing them is a category error✅ Natural resource investing — why you should never speculate on commodities✅ Why capitalism and morality are inseparable✅ How to protect and preserve wealth in a world falling apart✅ What sovereignty really meansAbout Jayant Bhandari:Jayant Bhandari is an institutional investor and consultant specialising in the natural resource sector, with a focus on junior mining and global exploration.
