We often focus on companies like Tesla or ARM, but we rarely think about the materials that make their technology possible. Ed Conway is the Economics Editor for Sky News and author of Material World: A Substantial Story of Our Past and Future. Where does the battery in your phone or an electric vehicle come from? Why are materials like lithium and copper so critical to achieving net-zero? These aren't just commodities; they are the fundamental building blocks of the technologies that shape our world and our future.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
