In this week’s episode of the Bonner Private Research podcast, I’m joined by Mr. Dan Denning, coauthor of The Bonner-Denning Letter with over 18 years in the financial publishing industry.
Today, Dan and I talked about cancel culture, and what it has to do with the current political and economic situation. We also spoke about how unsound money leads to the corruption of culture and civil society. Lastly, we touched on how the global attention span is narrowing, liquidity-driven markets and the problem with “unhitched” money.
So please, join us for all that and more, in my conversation with Dan, below…
