The latest episode of Paradigm Shock features Dr. Paul Sheard, former Vice Chairman and Chief Economist at Standard and Poor's, a former advisor to two Japanese prime ministers, a senior official at multiple global institutions, and the author of numerous papers and books, including his latest "The Power of Money", a WSJ Best Seller. Listeners delve into why popular economic narratives, especially regarding monetary policy, have often missed the mark post-2008 global financial crisis. Sheard's varied experiences, from studying Japanese industrial systems to navigating global economics at S&P, allow him to address complex topics with depth. His analysis of monetary systems, particularly his work on quantitative easing, reveals misunderstandings about inflation post-2008. Dr. Sheard advocates for examining the finer details and institutional mechanics that traditional economic models often ignore, offering listeners a richer perspective on global financial challenges and the potential future disruptions to global economic architectures.
