In this conversation, Pascal Huegli and Lynn Alden discuss the current economic landscape, focusing on the transition from monetary to fiscal dominance, the implications of government debt and monetary debasement, and the role of Bitcoin as a potential hedge against inflation. They explore how productivity growth interacts with inflation and the significance of debt monetization in the context of central banks and commercial banks holding government debt. Furthermore, they explore what factors influence liquidity in financial markets and what this current interest rate easing cycle might hold and how it differs from previous ones.
