In Today's Episode with Mark Carney We Discuss:

1. Is The Banking Crisis Over? What Happened?

  • Why does Mark not believe we are in a banking crisis?
  • Why does he not believe the banking turmoil is over?
  • Was SVB the fault of regulatory mistakes or management mistakes?

  • What does Mark believe is the future of regional banks?
  • Why does Mark believe we will see massive consolidation in banks coming soon?
  • Should the Fed be guaranteeing all deposits automatically?

3. What Happens To The Macro Now?

  • How does the banking turmoil impact growth rates? Will we definitely go into a recession now?
  • What is the impact on monetary policy? Can the Fed raise rates even higher?
  • What does this mean for the future of money? Why is it a silver bullet for stablecoins?
  • If Mark could bet on China or the US for the next 10 years, who would it be?
  • Does Mark believe the UK is in a weaker situation than ever? What about Europe?

4. The Future of Climate and Net Zero:

  • Where are we at with Net Zero? Are we ever going to make progress?
  • Is it possible to make progress without the cooperation of China?
  • Why does Mark disagree and suggest China has done more than most to help the climate?
  • Who is talking more than they are acting in the fight to save the climate?
  • On the flip side, who is acting more than they are talking?
