Michael Covel speaks with David Stockman on today’s podcast. Those that follow business and politics in the United States will recognize his name. Stockman has been a businessman, a Congressman, and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. Two things caught Covel’s attention: Stockman’s book, The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America, and his comments about President Woodrow Wilson. Covel explains. Covel and Stockman discuss his Woodrow Wilson piece; how Wilson brought the US into World War I and how the pain of the 1930’s and the pivot point of the 20th century was connected; why the ATM’s going dark in 2008 wasn’t a true possibility; zero interest rate policy and how we’re forcing people to spend down principal; and how the Fed can generate massive bubbles.
