The Hundred Year Pivot Ep. 7 – Edward Chancellor

In this episode of "The 100-Year Pivot," Grant Williams and Demetri Kofinas interview Eddie Chancellor, a financial historian, about the last 100 years of interest rates and the shift from a gold-based to a fiat-based monetary system. They discuss the impact of artificially low interest rates, the potential end of the debt super cycle, and the cultural and societal consequences of financial distortions. The conversation explores the possibility of a return to a sound monetary backing, the rise of populism, and the competition between different economic models, including state-directed capitalism and rent-seekers capitalism. They also touch on the potential for societal collapse and reformation, the role of debt, and the importance of real value in a world of fantasy wealth.
