Mark Thornton

Mario Innecco speaks with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, about the growing risks facing the global economy. We discuss the end of the 40-year bond bull market, soaring government debt, the AI bubble, inflation, war, and the consequences of decades of artificially low interest rates. Dr. Thornton explains why he believes the government bond bubble poses a far greater threat than AI, why central banks cannot simply inflate their way out of the debt problem, and how Austrian Business Cycle Theory helps explain today’s increasingly distorted economy. We also discuss the growing risk of economic, political and social unrest—and why sound money, limited government and change from the bottom up may ultimately provide the way forward.
