Lots More Ways For 2024 To Get Worse Than Better | John Rubino

Bear Market, Recession, Layoffs -- just to name a few

How stable is our current system -- economically, geo-politically and socially?

The markets seem confident it's quite stable.

But you don't have to look that hard to find evidence of stress fractures: from recessionary leading indicators, to struggling consumer households, to the frozen real estate market, to the breakdown of trade through the Red Sea, to the loss of faith in once-premier establishment brands like Harvard, to the polarization and cynicism of this year's US presidential election.

What's more likely to happen from here: ascent or breakdown?

To discuss, we're fortunate to hear today from monetary and macro analyst John Rubino, author and co-author of numerous books including The Money Bubble, who now publishes regularly on his successful Substack.

John assesses the risks are far more skewed to the downside, enumerating the reasons why he thinks there’s a lot more that can go wrong in 2024 than can surprise to the upside.
