Description

The “three-body problem” is a physics issue that deals with unpredictable futures.  In a recent essay, John Mauldin argues the economy is actually experiencing an “eight-body problem.”  On today’s episode, NLW explores each of those dimensions shaping the challenge we face, including: Central bank intervention The destruction of the service industry The implosion of global trade  In the end, he argues that in a world ruled by chaos, fighting to control the narrative might be the only rational move.  Read Ben Hunt’s essay “The Three-Body Problem”
