Marty Bent and Robert (@Infraa_) explore how globalization has hollowed out American manufacturing, creating a silent depression marked by declining real wages and rising deaths of despair. They discuss the twin deficit trap, wealth inequality, and the financialization of the economy that benefits asset holders while destroying middle-class prosperity. The conversation covers Trump's tariff policies, dollar devaluation, the coming reindustrialization of America, and why young people are turning to financial nihilism and gambling. Robert explains the mechanics of trade deficits, capital flows, and how Bitcoin could lead to the great definancialization by providing an alternative to the broken monetary system that has driven social decay and political polarization.
