About this episode

Jeff Booth discusses the impact of technology on deflation and the financial system, exploring the future of jobs, AI, and Bitcoin.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jeff Booth, visionary entrepreneur and author of the groundbreaking book "The Price of Tomorrow", to unpack a simple but explosive idea: Technology is deflationary—it pushes costs down—yet our debt-based financial system is built in a way that often pushes prices and asset values up. We talk about how AI accelerates this clash in 2026 and beyond, why everyday life can still feel expensive even in an age of digital abundance, what this means for jobs and skills, why energy matters as a real-world constraint, and where Bitcoin may fit into the future of money and trust. Topics we cover: Jeff’s origin story and the “aha” behind The Price of Tomorrow Why tech drives deflation—and why it doesn’t feel that way AI, productivity, and the future of jobs Bitcoin as a protocol + why layers matter Best-case vs worst-case scenarios for the next 5-10 years If you enjoyed this conversation, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who loves debating big questions.
