Description

In this episode of The Narrative Game, Ben warns of a dangerous politicization of the Federal Reserve following Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s push to subordinate the Fed to Treasury control, arguing that this marks a decisive step toward financing government spending through unchecked money creation—a path historically linked to currency debasement and economic collapse. With institutions too weak to resist and political narratives distracting the public, Ben and I ponder whether the US is on an irreversible trajectory toward monetary dysfunction, leaving alternative assets like gold and Bitcoin as the few remaining safeguards against a looming crisis.
