IWTL how to deepen my understanding of the world.

I want to educate myself primarily in history, geography, economics, finance and politics and how each tie into one another and affect the trajectory of the world we live in.

I try watching news but none of it truly resonates with me perhaps because I lack the broader context to appreciate the significance of some event. Same goes for podcasts and stuff.

I want to build a good foundation from the bottom up and be able to observe and analyse happenings and come to conclusions on my own. I am not arrogant enough to assume I'll be able to fully master any of the above disciplines but I do want good working knowledge of all.

Any books or youtube channel recommendations plus some tips on how to structure and/or supplement my learning is greatly appreciated.
