My guest today is Michael Howell, the author of Capital Wars.

He understands Global Liquidity and its effects on markets better than anyone I know, and I got the chance to pick his brains for an hour in this conversation.

Not only did we discuss liquidity, but also the dollar system, Bitcoin, the outlook for the rest of 2024 and much more.
