In today's episode I talk about BlackRock's role in the shaping of the Great Reset and how thanks to their immensely powerful position as the world's largest asset manager (as well as their partnership with the World Economic Forum), they will be perfectly positioned to do so. We might be looking at the most powerful organisation in human history.
This is Part I of a 2-part series on BlackRock. The next episode will be out in the next couple of days.
