Money & Markets

Slogging through Patsy Capitalism

In this episode of Money & Markets, Catherine and John Titus discuss the prevailing economic uncertainty and its impacts on business planning. Against a backdrop of erratic government policies, businesses are struggling to navigate the fluid economic landscape marked by fluctuating tariffs and unreliable information.

Beyond the economic ramifications of these uncertainties, the conversation highlights broader issues of trust in governance. Stories on the role of AI in government operations, Palantir’s operational practices, and the financial and ethical controversies surrounding OpenAI underscore the complexities of the current system.

Catherine and John also touch on U.S.-China financial dynamics, evolving geopolitics in Russia and Ukraine, and the misuse of data by federal agencies. Additional topics of discussion include the climate change narrative, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Pope Leo the 14th’s unexpected rise (and financial implications for the Vatican), and private equity’s involvement in the health care sector.

Overall, the discussion paints a picture of a precarious economic environment influenced by political, technological, and financial factors.
