Contrarian macro strategist David Hunter delivers his boldest outlook yet: a final parabolic melt-up in stocks during 2025, capping a 43-year secular bull market, followed by what he calls the biggest deflationary bust since 1929. In this must-watch interview with James Connor, Hunter predicts the S&P 500 surging to 8000 and the Dow to 55,000 before an 80 % collapse wipes out trillions. Key points he explains: Why the Fed is already behind the curve and will soon panic-cut rates How bearish institutional positioning could fuel the melt-up Signs we may already be in a recession Why the coming global bust could dwarf 2008 How a $20 trillion Fed balance-sheet expansion could spark hyperinflation later in the 2030s Why the next bull market should favor commodities, oil, and precious metals over tech Also discussed: his targets of $ 20,000 gold, $500 silver, $500 oil, and why traditional index investing may be “dead money” for a generation.

Kathryn interviews Author & Professor of Economics Steven Landsburg PhD, author of the book “Can You Outsmart an Economist? 100+ Puzzles to Train Your Brain.” In our world of fake news and splashy soundbites, Landsburg teaches the curious how to look behind the headlines and statistics and think critically about economic problems. He's found that readers often learn better, and enjoy themselves more, when lessons in intimidating topics are packaged as puzzles.

February 26, 2019 is the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of Grand Canyon National Park - this and other national parks and forests are in danger. Using on-the-ground reporting as well as scientific research, Nash shows how industrial exploitation and accelerating climate change will dislocate wildlife populations and vegetation.

Outsmarting An Economist Steven Landsburg is an acclaimed author and professor of economics who in this interview dares us to try to outsmart an economist? He wrote his new book, Can You Outsmart an Economist? to inspire and show readers how to do just that by expanding the way you think about decision making and problem-solving. We discuss the "why" behind economics which he suggests is all about exploring the hidden why or motives behind our behaviours and decisions in daily life. He shares several puzzles from his book aimed to exercise our brain, using logic and problem-solving ability to view things from unique perspectives. It is an enjoyable and entertaining view through the lens of an economist - challenging us to think differently about the decisions we make and what we do. Guest Bio Steven Landsburg is a professor of economics at The University of Rochester. He's written for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Forbes, Slate, and others of that ilk. He blogs at TheBigQuestions.com. His latest book is Can You Outsmart an Economist?: 100+ Puzzles to Train Your Brain", from Houghton-Mifflin.
