About this episode
Tom Bilyeu joins me to discuss why the economy feels broken, why the working and middle class are being crushed, and why debt and money printing sit at the centre of so many of the problems people are living through.
Tom argues that every empire eventually faces the same test: whether it can hold the power of the money printer without destroying itself. We talk about inflation, broken political incentives, the debt cycle, populism, why people feel the economic pie shrinking, and why politics seems incapable of fixing the problem.
We also get into AI and why Tom believes we are in a race between artificial intelligence creating abundance and the West driving off a fiscal cliff. I talk through my own recent AI moment, building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and we discuss what that means for jobs, entrepreneurs and the future of work.
