My guest today is David Stockman. 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.

The topic is his book The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• 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
• How the Fed can generate massive bubbles
