Over the past decade, the world’s central banks have distorted the price of money by bringing interest rates to record lows.
With credit so cheap, asset prices have risen dramatically as companies and governments have borrowed to the hilt.
And now with the “Everything Bubble” threatening to burst (perhaps in mid-bursting already?), we’re suddenly realizing that the phantom asset price gains were ephemeral, while the debts are permanent.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:
In this week’s podcast, Chris and Jim tackle a wide range of issues — from shale oil, to Jeffrey Epstein, wokesterdom, the financial bubble, social malaise, and the future of society. One deficit particularly concerning to Jim is our culture’s inability to have coherent discourse.
