In April 2025, a single executive order shattered forty years of international diplomacy. While the world was distracted, the United States effectively withdrew from the United Nations' "Constitution of the Oceans" to secure the most valuable asset on Earth: the deep-sea floor.
In this episode of Econ Empires, we uncover the hidden history of the Law of the Sea, the rise of China’s dominance in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, and the desperate scramble for the nickel, cobalt, and manganese needed to power the future. Why did the US refuse to sign the treaty in the 80s? How did China capture the International Seabed Authority? And what happens now that the US has issued "letters of marque" for the 21st century?
