Has #nostrbookclub read this yet? Needed a book for my flight and stumbled across it.

The author Mervyn King was head of the Bank of England from 2003-2013 and witnessed the 2008 financial collapse first hand. Even in the first chapter he describes what we have been witnessing today.

Central banks were stuck on a zero/negative interest rate policy to try and make up for the fact that growth was dead after the 2008 collapse. There’s no way to continue with high interest rates without collapsing the system.

#[0] Haven’t read it but looks interesting

I like getting my books from the digital public library, so It’s a little old by now, but so far it’s very prescient.

Nice I’ll check it out 🤙

I’m guessing he doesn’t mention #bitcoin at all, does he?

No mention of corn yet, after I’m done I want to do some digging to see what this guys been up to and if he’s a full blown maxi by now.

Thanks for the recommendation! Always looking for good books
