I did an interview earlier this month on The Investor Podcast with Preston Psyh and Stig Brodersen. We covered a lot of different topics, but focused mainly on my white paper “Understanding the Modern Monetary System”. We discuss:
- The importance of forming a sound operational understanding of the monetary system not only for investment purposes, but for political purposes
- How innovation can overcome regulations and demographic problems
- Why it’s the banks and not the Federal Reserve that is “printing money”
- Why and how the US financial system is different than in Europe
- Why quantitative easing is nothing more than a simple asset swap
- Why the US shouldn’t peg the dollar to a commodity or a basket of currencies
You can listen to the full interview here. If you have questions about anything don’t hesitate to pop over to the forum to ask questions. I hope you enjoy it and learn a lot.
