Episode notes
Since the global financial crisis which ended in 2009, we've been living in a world which was engineered to be an easy world. The accommodative monetary policy that I described supported the economy. It supported the markets. We had the longest bull market in history. Declining interest rates increase the value of all assets. If you lower the rate at which you do the discounting, the present value of future cash flows goes up. So assets became more valuable. It was very difficult to default or go bankrupt in this accommodative environment.
