My guest today is John Mauldin, a noted financial expert, a New York Times best-selling author, a pioneering online commentator, and the publisher of one of the most widely read investment newsletters in the world.

The topic is finance.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Credit card rates and zero interest rate policy
• The improper use of credit
• Debt spirals
• Central bank policies that keep whipsaw periods going
• The actions in Japan and how they can spread across the world
• The justifications that Mauldin sees behind the scenes
• Black swans and boom-bust periods
• How the 2008 financial crisis wasn’t a true black swan event
• The “why” behind zero interest rate policy
• The specter of Keynesianism over the world
