The Pareto Principle and Power: How a Few Actors Shape Politics, Markets, and Organisations

Why the 80/20 rule matters in geopolitics, business, and strategy and when it breaks down

This episode explores the Pareto Principle, or 80/20 rule, as a lens for understanding power in politics, markets, and organisations. It examines how a small number of actors often shape outcomes in global systems, why concentration can be mistaken for stability, and what this means for strategy, risk, and decision-making in an uncertain world.
