Economic Parallels: Lessons from the 1970s

This week, we dive into the shifting tides of the U.S. economy and its global impact on smaller countries like Ireland, who are deeply tied to American trade and investment. With the Fed’s balancing act of boosting stock markets while trying to control inflation, are we heading into another bubble? As inequality deepens, we ask what the upcoming U.S. election could mean for the global economy. Legendary short-seller Jim Chanos joins us to discuss why he believes we’re living in a “Golden Age of Fraud” and how investors are ignoring red flags. Are we returning to a 1970s-style economic era, but with new players like China and the rise of social media-driven distrust? We explore it all in this week's episode.
