J. David Stein
About this episode

Interest rates have been sliding for seven centuries. Dive into the historical forces driving this trend and examine whether the recent interest rate spike is just a blip on the radar.

Topics covered include:

  • How the supply of savings and the demand to borrow impact interest rates
  • Why have interest rates been falling for over 700 years, and what might have changed recently to propel rates higher
  • How lower rates have helped households increase their net worth and reduce their financial vulnerability
  • What are some lower-risk ways to take advantage of higher interest rates
