Description

In this episode, Mark and Brent dive into the uncomfortable truth behind our modern financial system:



  • The Bank of Canada may have held its policy rate at 2.75%

  • Economist Richard Werner explains how banks create money out of thin air—not by lending deposits, but by issuing new credit

  • George Gammon outlines how this fuels inflation, asset bubbles, and the so-called Cantillon Effect, where the rich get richer while the middle class gets crushed

  • Saifedean Ammous calls it a moral failure that punishes savers and rewards debt and speculation

  • We explore how this system affects democracy, increases government overreach, and forces people into a financial squeeze with only two ways out: up or down
