About this episode

Tom Bilyeu discusses the rigged economy, AI, and Bitcoin with Peter McCormack.

Tom Bilyeu joins me to discuss debt, money printing, broken politics, AI, Bitcoin and why the economy feels rigged against ordinary people. Tom argues that every empire eventually faces the same test: whether it can hold the power of the money printer without printing itself into oblivion. We talk about inflation, the debt cycle, asset prices, populism, Britain’s decline, and why the working and middle class are being squeezed. We also get into AI and the future of work. I talk through my own recent experience building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and Tom explains how AI has already changed the structure of his business. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - The Economy Is Rigged 00:01:09 - Are We Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff? 00:03:04 - Debt, Money Printing and Inflation 00:04:36 - The Final Boss of Economics 00:07:02 - America’s Founding and Wealth Extraction 00:10:19 - Can America Be Saved? 00:11:46 - Economics Has Physics 00:16:06 - Debt, Cancellation and Freedom 00:19:03 - The Thucydides Trap 00:21:42 - Politics Has Not Been…
