Many Western countries have accumulated very high levels of debt, while central banks have expanded the money supply significantly over recent decades.

I can’t see a way to restore our economy without a prolonged period of extreme hardship, one that the public would not tolerate, no matter which government we elect. Do you know how we get out of this hole?

When Zimbabwe did it they called it printing money, when the Bank of England does it they call it "quantitative easing", we all know neither will work in the long term - will the Bank of England ever reverse it ? or does the city just "price it in" to all market pricing so in effect its pointless?

What is the risk that AI is a bubble that will be burst and, if so, how are the markets addressing it.

Shouldn’t we just call it a day and revert back to ore based currency like gold silver copper etc… and revert the New (then) Labours “liberation” of the Bank Of England?

Apart from that and the asinine behaviour of our politicians, I wouldn’t be surprised if we loose our currency and get the euro, the way things are going…

Patrick! Wow! Super excited to see you on the show! As a market-curious Physicist I have long found your explanations on option pricing to be the best available!

As is often alleged, are there indeed scenarios in which derivative activity fosters severe instability in markets? If so, how does this emerge, and how could it be prevented with simple and sensible regulations that preserve the beneficial role derivatives play in healthy markets?
