The Unpopular View is for people tired of tribal talking points who want evidence‑based analysis on fraud, welfare, climate, and global governance.

I’m Michael Brown, a social and environmental risk analyst and former NGO founder with decades of field work across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific.

I’ve worked on corruption, climate mitigation, conservation, mining governance, and community‑led development in more than 35 countries. Each episode combines stories from conflict‑affected rural areas with hard data to unpack big policy myths from both left and right. If you care about how public money, natural resources, and climate policy really work on the ground, subscribe for clear, unsentimental analysis that most media skip.
