Mike Green on Societal Nihilism, Broken Markets, and Crypto's False Promise

In this special interview, Mike Green, Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management, joins Maggie Lake and doesn’t hold back with his views on the rise of passive investing and where it all leads, a sense of nihilism he thinks has gripped society, the speculative frenzy around cryptocurrencies - even though he can see the potential of digital securities - and a lot more. This thought-provoking discussion goes far beyond the ticking clock of markets and into the critical, existential issues facing society and the economy. Recorded Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
