In this interview, host Jason Hartman and economist Richard Duncan explore the shift from traditional capitalism to "creditism," an economic system driven by debt and credit creation rather than capital accumulation. Duncan advocates for the establishment of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund to aggressively finance breakthroughs in advanced technologies like AI and robotics, arguing this is essential to counter China's rapid rise. He suggests that the government should act as a venture capitalist, taking equity stakes in private companies to ensure the public benefits from taxpayer-funded innovations. The discussion also addresses potential inflationary risks under the second Trump administration, specifically regarding tariffs and mass deportations that could strain the labor market. Duncan concludes that while the current global credit bubble is precarious, strategic government investment remains the only way to sustain economic growth and national security.
