Send us a textI recorded this last summer. I have so much admiration for Professor Pettis. Almost everyone in macro with risk positions in China inevitably must seek out his sage council. I really enjoyed the opportunity to bathe in his wisdom once more. But first, we had to talk about the rock scene in Beijing.

Send us a textI try and answer your questions relating to my recent twitter outburst regarding the role of negative interest rates. I explain how the external trading value of the dollar is being held hostage. That the US has lost its exorbitant privilege. Yes, it can still print money, should its private sector banks be willing, however it can no longer lower the external value of the dollar vis-a-vis its trading partners. The mercantilists have gained the upper-hand. I try and explain how negative US dollar rates might represent a valid and rational attempt to free the US from such serfdom. Give me 48 hours and I'll clean up the transcript. And I'm putting together a video montage for my YouTube channel - ever wondered how the Treasury pleading with the G7 would look inside my head?
