In this episode, Will and financial macroanalyst Robert, of the famous "Infranomics" channel, discuss whether America has been in a long, silent Depression since the 2008 Recession. Pointing to everything from the cost of living as measured in real, gold terms to the massive number of deaths of despair, Robert explains that we likely are in such a Depression. They also discuss the impact robotics will have on the workplace, what Japan can teach us about industrial strength and policy, and why protection is needed.
