Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse and Perry Mehrling of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies explain how the "plumbing of the financial system" is coming under strain like never before. This podcast gives a great insight into how the money system works.

The three central points made are that the "supply chain is a payment chain in reverse", how the Fed has alleviated much of the dollar shortage stress through quick issuance of swaps and how the "post-crisis" future may look like.

He stresses that economic factors (e.g., trade shocks and economic crisis) play a crucial role in the rise of populist parties; however, the discussion of mechanisms driving this trend remains unsatisfying

Sheila Dow discusses the concept of radical uncertainty and the failure of neoclassical economics to integrate it into its analysis. As to the implications for financial regulation that arise from the presence of radical uncertainty she argues for institutional overhaul, where the banks see themselves as a licensed partner of the central bank and where rules, values, and conventions would be subject to a cultural shift. Also, Sheila Dow advocates for a renewed focus on retail banking.
