Interview recorded - 17th of April, 2024

On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming back Clive Thompson. Clive's entire career was in wealth management, mainly Swiss private banking. This provides him a unique insight into central banks.

During our conversation we spoke about why we didn't experience a banking crisis in 2023, whether it could be a risk moving forward, governments getting poorer while someone else is getting richer, stickier than expected inflation, financial repression, precious metals and more. I hope you enjoy!
