Clipped from an interview that took place 1+ years ago, 170% private debt v GDP in US is a huge vulnerability. Per his work regarding debt’s role in financial instability, we’re in a crazy place, as the safe limit is 30% . Wages suffer from the debt overhang in the wake of a crisis as companies pay down debt.
mainstream economics is blind to all this, yet their theory guides US policy. It has to go.
