About this episode

Mike Green discusses the collapsing economy and the hidden issues affecting wealth and job security.

Are we heading for a mathematical market crash or has the system just been perfectly designed to extract your wealth? In this episode, I sit down with macro-strategist Mike Green to discuss the hidden plumbing of the global economy. Mike explains why the stock market is no longer tied to reality, how the rise of passive index funds has created a dangerous "flow inelastic trap" and why the modern retirement system is forcing a massive generational wealth crisis. Mike also explains the brutal economic realities of the Middle East conflict, how monopolies have secretly captured free-market capitalism and reveals a new data point: how corporations are actively using AI to eliminate jobs for the younger generation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - System Feels Broken 00:01:58 - War Hits Your Wallet 00:06:22 - Power And Control 00:10:45 - Retirement Was Rewired 00:15:55 - The Market Tipping Point 00:20:08 - Why Nothing Works 00:24:00 - Capitalism Got Captured 00:33:28 - The Real Problem 00:35:47 - AI Changes Everything 00:44:00 - The Fed Is Trapped 00:51:12 - The Credit Unwind 00:59:47 - What…
