Victor Davis Hanson has a good deal to say about the 2024 election candidates worth listening to: “Joe Biden’s regime is most revolutionary left-wing since FDR”

Just had the pleasure of listening to two great economic thinkers in “The Great Debate – Thomas Piketty + Michael Hudson” you might like to listen to. Piketty authored the sensational “Capital in the 2st Century” in 2014, and Hudson wrote “And Forgive Them Their Debt” in 2018.

Apparently a Microsoft executive also died recently. I haven’t researched it yet.
Question for anyone: The FinViz chart is featured on every installment that I have seen over the last year plus. Can someone tell me what it is and what is its significance as a yardstick as used by John and Catherine? Thanks, Craig
Tracks a basket of commodities prices as well as the VIX and financial indicators. Helpful in understanding inflation and the impact of Fed policy.
INTERVIEW IDEA: Catherine, could you ask Dr. Peter Breggin if he’s read RFK, Jr’s THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI and have him back on Solari to discuss his response to the book? It would be interesting to compare his & wife’s COVID-19 book to RFK, Jr.’s book. Thank you. I’m not wholly convinced that RFK, Jr. is all that he’s made out to be.
A curious aspect of the SVB operation pointed out in the 4/20 M & M was that “whales” held large amounts of non interest bearing demand deposits in that bank. Seems illogical to forego what would be significant interest income. A possible explanation is that those individuals were looking to minimize their capital gain liabilities. For example, reporting less than about $45,000 (about $90,000 filing jointly) in ordinary income puts a taxpayer into a 0 capital gains bracket. Given that many depositors were wealthy insiders, and if they were sellers with large capital gains, they could trace those sales to their person for tax reporting, in which case say a $10 million dollar capital gain would have 0 federal tax liability.
