In this episode with Ed Dowd, we discuss: - The current state of the economy and whether a bust is looming - What would a 30-50% stock crash look like and could money printing 'save it' - Bank consolidations: Ed predicts failures of many regional banks and a few Too Big to Fail Banks emerging at the top - How will a CBDC work? - What is MMT? - Is Bitcoin the solution to the broken financial system? - Are leaders malicious or incompetent? Why the divide of red vs blue? - Why Ed sees a lot of hope Bio: Edward Dowd is currently a founding partner with Phinance Technologies a global macro alternative investment firm.
