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

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

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

What you're about to hear is the seventh episode in a podcast series

hosted by me and my co-host Grant Williams, titled The Hundred Year Pivot. In it, we speak with

some of the smartest and most plugged in people we know to help position ourselves, our

organizations, our families, and our portfolios for the once-in-a-century economic, political, and geopolitical

reordering that we believe is currently underway. In today's conversation, Grant and I speak with

financial historian and award-winning journalist Edward Chancellor. Edward is the author of Devil Take

the Hindmost, a famous book about the history of financial speculation

and is currently a columnist for Reuters breaking views and a contributor to many other publications,

including the Wall Street Journal, Money Week, New York Review of Books, and The Financial Times.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Eddie shares his perspective on how interest rates, monetary

policy, and speculative excesses have shaped our modern economies by providing an insightful

narrative that traces the evolution of money and finance from the period of the classical

gold standard to the rise of free-floating fiat currencies.

We also explore the concept of a debt super cycle and the potential consequences that may arise

from a generational reset, such as increased financial repression, capital controls, currency crises,

and geopolitical and social turmoil as the debt cycle reaches its climax.
