In this episode I'm joined by friend of the podcast Gary Brode for a rollercoaster ride through the whimsical world of finance, economics and monetary policy.

Let's face it, the economy can be dry and complicated. But Gary manages to inject humour into the discussion while unraveling the intricacies of the Federal Reserve's decisions, Congressional spending habits, and the ever-complex global market influences. There's even some laughs around the potential disaster brewing in Japan's interest rate policy and the commercial real estate market.
