Ever wondered about the mysterious forces that shape our financial system? I'm joimned by Gerald Epstein, author of 'Busting the Bankers Club: Finance for the Rest of Us,' to discuss the often-shadowy interplay between politics, economics, and the big banks. He explains how the 'Bankers Club'—a conglomerate of financial elites, politicians, and regulatory bodies—exerts a powerful influence over our economy and politics. This episode is not just about exposing the intricacies of the financial system; it's about understanding how it affects each and every one of us.
