Episode Synopsis

What if the next world war isn’t fought for ideology or territory — but for quarterly profits?That’s the unsettling premise behind Prophets of War, the explosive debut novel from writer, investor, and political thinker Jack Brown. A lifelong student of history and finance, Brown turns his eye to the places where power hides in plain sight — where ambition, ideology, and capital collide.The story follows Alex Morgan, a young financial prodigy who stumbles upon a hidden network of shell companies and shadow investors profiting from global conflict. What begins as a search for truth soon becomes a desperate fight for survival, as Alex discovers that the war in Ukraine is only one piece of a far greater design — a machine that monetizes chaos itself.From the boardrooms of Wall Street to the offshore vaults of the Caribbean, Prophets of War rips open the veil on how modern empires are built — not with armies, but with spreadsheets.Jack Brown joins us to discuss how fiction can illuminate the systems that shape our world — and why some of the most dangerous battles today may not be fought with weapons, but with money.
