What's up everybody? My name is Demetra Caffeines and you're listening to Hidden Forces,

a podcast that inspires investors, entrepreneurs and everyday citizens to challenge consensus

narratives and to learn how to think critically about the systems of power shaping our world.

My guest in this week's episode is Russell Napier. Russell was on the podcast a year ago

for what proved to be a very popular conversation about his book on the Asian financial crisis

and the birth of what he has called the Age of Dead.

Today's episode picks up where that conversation left off,

building on the foundations of the post-bredden wood system of flexible exchange rates

and dollar hegemony to speculate on what comes next,

on what the new order that is now being born will look like,

how will operate and its implications for economies, industries, portfolios,

and the role of the dollar in the new international monetary system.

It's a conversation about inflation, war and geopolitics,

and ultimately had a position oneself for a fundamentally new world

where all the assumptions about monetary policy, risk-taking,

and the power and influence of governments to shape economic opportunities

and to append the lives and livelihoods of private citizens will need to be radically rethought.

Understanding what this world will look like,

is that his coming into being can make all the difference between success and failure for investors.

The second part of our conversation, which is available to subscribers only,

looks to identify who the winners and losers of this new economic and political paradigm will be,

as well as the asset classes, industries, and companies that will benefit from it.
