The Peter McCormack Show

Mike Green is a macro strategist known for his work on market structure, benchmark distortions, passive flows and systemic fragility. A single benchmark shaped American markets and policy for decades and economist Mike Green believes it distorted risk, inflated asset prices, weakened the middle class and misled policymakers about the true state of the economy. In this conversation, he breaks down how a flawed model became accepted as truth, how it quietly rewired incentives, and why he thinks the consequences are now impossible to ignore. In this episode we discuss: – What the "broken benchmark" actually is – How flawed assumptions shaped U.S. economic policy – Why markets mispriced risk for decades – The rise of passive flows and distorted price signals – How asset inflation hurt the middle class – Why housing affordability collapsed – Why policymakers didn't correct the model – The structural consequences for future generations – Whether America can fix the system without a crisis – How the UK is importing the same benchmark problems - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – How a Benchmark Became a National Problem   00:16:24 – The Rise of Passive Flows & Market Distortion   00:32:18 – Why America Misprices Risk   00:48:05 – Asset Inflation & the Middle-Class Squeeze   01:04:22 – Housing, Debt & Structural Fragility   01:19:57 – Why Policymakers Didn't Fix the Benchmark   01:36:44 – Elites, Incentives & the Illusion of Prosperity   01:53:30 – The UK's Imported Benchmark Problem   02:10:42 – What a Saner Benchmark Would Look Like   02:27:15 – Future Scenarios & Final Thoughts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MIKE GREEN › Website – https://www.simplify.us › Twitter – https://x.com/profplum99 › Substack – https://substack.com/@michaelwgreen SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04

Modern economics is built on competing theories that often describe the world in very different ways. In this conversation, economist Steve Keen sets out his explanation for how money works, why he believes mainstream economic models fail, and why debt, banking and housing play a far greater role in economic crises than most policymakers acknowledge. Keen's perspective challenges the assumptions of neoclassical, Keynesian and Austrian economists alike. In this episode we discuss: – How economics became political ideology – Why neoclassical theory broke the West – The Left vs Right illusion in economic policy – What money really is (and how banks actually create it) – Why inflation is misunderstood by almost everyone – How private debt fuels instability and inequality – Housing, mortgages & the destruction of the middle class – Why equilibrium economics is fantasy – What a sane, reality-based economic model looks like – How young people can survive a debt-driven system Economics didn't fail by accident — it failed because ideology replaced reality. Steve Keen is one of the world's leading heterodox economists, known for his critiques of mainstream theory and his work on private debt, banking, financial instability and the 2008 crisis, which he warned about years in advance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction  00:03:12 – Why Economics Became Ideology   00:09:04 – Economists vs Reality   00:14:47 – How Money Actually Works   00:21:18 – Banks, Loans & Money Creation     00:33:44 – Inflation: What Really Drives It   00:38:59 – Wages, Markups & Bargaining Power     00:47:55 – The Housing Crisis Explained   00:54:03 – Deregulation & the Death of Affordability   00:59:22 – Middle Class Collapse   01:04:48 – Left and Right Get Economics Wrong   01:11:02 – Neoclassical Economics 01:17:26 – The Problem With Economic Models   01:22:31 – Why Economists Misunderstand Production   01:28:08 – AI, Automation & The Future of Work      01:44:28 – Structural Failures    01:55:46 – Can Government Use Good Economics?   02:01:23 – Global Debt, Fragility & Future Crises   02:06:40 – What Would Real Reform Look Like?   02:13:28 – Why Young Generations Feel Hopeless   02:19:47 – Can We Build a Post-Ideological Economics?   02:25:10 – Final Thoughts   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH STEVE KEEN › Website – https://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeen › Twitter – https://x.com/profstevekeen SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Inflation isn't an economic metric — it's a political tactic. When governments lie about inflation, they're not miscalculating; they're stealing from you. Economist Karl-Friedrich Israel explains how inflation quietly enriches asset holders, punishes workers and pushes Europe into a slow, silent decline. If your living standards are falling while politicians insist everything is fine, this conversation will make sense of it. If you still believe governments can print prosperity without consequences, you won't enjoy what follows. In this episode we discuss: – How inflation secretly taxes the poor – Why CPI hides the real cost of living – Europe's long, slow economic decay – The rise of modern socialism – Cronyism vs capitalism – Collective corruption of elites – Why asset inflation fuels inequality – The Argentina warning – Whether Bitcoin can fix the money – AI, automation & the coming labour shock Britain is being lied to — and people are finally waking up. Karl-Friedrich Israel is a German economist specialising in monetary policy, inflation and inequality. His work reveals the economic mechanisms accelerating Europe's decline. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – The Inflation Lie 00:06:21 – CPI vs Real Cost of Living 00:12:13 – Inequality: What's Legit, What Isn't 00:14:02 – Why Socialism Is Surging Again 00:19:34 – Inflation as Political Illusion 00:24:10 – Welfare, Dependence & the Trap 00:26:47 – Argentina, Milei & Monetary Chaos 00:33:16 – Should We Abolish Central Banks? 00:37:21 – Europe's Coming Decline 00:53:59 – Brain Drain & the Death of Opportunity 00:58:07 – Academia's Ideological Capture 01:23:02 – AI, Job Loss & the Future Economy 01:39:19 – Bitcoin, Freedom & The Path Forward - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH KARL-FRIEDRICH ISRAEL › Website – https://kfisrael.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy.  If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.
