For those of us interested in what’s truly going on within the financial system — the who, what, why & how behind it all — there are few better sources than a highly-informed investigative financier with a talent for engaging storytelling. One of the best is Nomi Prins, former partner at Goldman Sachs turned financial journalist & author of such Wall Street exposés as the books All The Presidents Bankers & Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged The World. Here’s an interview Adam recorded with her last month back in February, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, that we’re now finally able to make available to the general public. We delve into the distortions the Federal Reserve has created in the markets, as well as Wall Street’s cartel-like stranglehold on our financial system – both of which will definitely make your blood boil a bit. But we also talk a bit about how the promise of new Decentralized Finance or “defi” solutions may take some of the advantage away from the bankers.
