Navigating Economic Cycles and Central Bank Impact

Scott is joined by Peter St Onge to talk about how the government uses the Federal Reserve to enrich the politically connected at the expense of everyday people. St Onge explains how we arrived at this crazy economic moment and draws comparisons to the stagflation of the 1970s. He and Scott also talk about the destructiveness of recessions, debunk common myths about inflation and discuss what’s happening in China.
