| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Brokonomics now in this episode I wanted to talk about how I think that we are getting really close to one of the big moments of change |
| 0:10.6 | and I've talked in this series about what has been happening, why things have gone wrong, how things work. |
| 0:18.0 | And I've alluded to how I think things are going to come up against one of those sort of big shift moments. |
| 0:27.0 | You know, 2008 was obviously a major one, but you've got a bunch of others the 2000 crisis the 1998 Asian |
| 0:36.0 | financial crisis a lot of these things come along another significant one of course |
| 0:41.2 | would be the 2020 big surge that was |
| 0:44.6 | always in that massive inflation wave and we're still dealing with the |

| 1:49.8 | me was how early in that narrative cycle that the money printing got turned on and as we know it |
| 1:55.8 | is a vast, vast amount of money printing that got pushed out very early on and it was like |
| 2:00.8 | hmm okay what why is this happening and that money printing continued to continue for quite a while and the effects of that, you know, we've talked about in a number of episodes. |
| 2:14.0 | But essentially I was, my bullshit detectors are on full alert and I knew that there was a narrative |
