CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Why the U.S.’ $2 Trillion Stimulus, Unlimited QE Will Expose the Monetary System’s Flaws
CoinDesk’s Chief Content Officer Michael Casey and Head of Research Noelle Acheson join for a lively debate about the new $2 trillion stimulus package and era of “unlimited” QE, including:
- Whether (and on what time scale) fiscal and monetary stimulus might lead to inflation
- Whether the Fed buying corporate bonds amounts to a nationalization of the bond markets
- Why the appearance of a ‘digital dollar’ in an earlier stimulus proposal was a huge surprise
- How a digital dollar in the form proposed would upset the balance of power between the Fed, commercial banks, and citizens
- Why trust in governments and financial institutions is likely to achieve new lows in the wake of COVID-19
- Why people are reevaluating the meaning and purpose of money

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Coronavirus Special
We?ve dedicated this special episode to the numbers surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. Statistical national treasure Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter put the risks of Covid-19 into perspective. We ask whether young people are safe from serious illness, or if statistics from hospitalisations in the US show a high proportion of patients are under 50. We try to understand what the ever-tightening restrictions on businesses and movement mean for the UK?s economy, and we take a look at the mystery of coronavirus numbers in Iran.
