The Market Illusion: Mike Green on Inflation, Geopolitics and the Hidden Recession

This podcast features an interview with Mike Green, discussing his concerns about the US economy and the accuracy of inflation metrics. The conversation covers Green's analysis of the Chicago Fed National Activity Index, his belief that the current inflation measures are flawed, and the implications of the rising gig economy on unemployment data. He also analyzes the geopolitical strategies of the Trump administration, particularly concerning China and Russia. Green argues that the Fed's reliance on traditional unemployment figures is misleading due to the gig economy's growth, and suggests that the actual economic conditions are worse than officially reported. Listeners gain insights into alternative inflation measures and the complexities of interpreting economic data.
