The End Game Podcast, Released on 7/20/20

Bill and Grant welcome the legendary Jim Grant, founder and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, and author of a number of stupendous chronicles of both financial history and those who helped shape it. The three discuss the importance of historical parallels to today’s somewhat bemusing coin shortage before digging deeper into the past to examine previous inflationary episodes and discuss what lessons they might offer for our immediate future as we move towards The End Game.
