Danielle DiMartino Booth: Market Chaos, FED Zombie Companies, and Economic Scarring

Jay is joined by Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO & Chief Strategist for Quill Intelligence LLC, a research and analytics firm. A global thought leader on monetary policy, economics, and finance, DiMartino Booth founded Quill Intelligence in 2018. She is the author of Fed Up: An Insider’s Take on Why the Federal Reserve is Bad for America (Portfolio, Feb 2017), a full-time columnist for Bloomberg View, a business speaker, and a commentator frequently featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox News, Fox Business News, BNN Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, and more. Prior to Quill, DiMartino Booth spent nine years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas where she served as Advisor to President Richard W. Fisher throughout the financial crisis, until his retirement in 2015. She joins Jay to discuss a variety of topics, including navigating market chaos, investing in 2021, keeping your silver & gold, and currencies. She believes FED created zombie companies that survive off of life support and prevent new companies from being born. She posits that consumer spending will not go up, and discusses the impacts that business-travel related industries will suffer as people continue to prove what was once done in airports and hotels can be done from the comfort (and personal expense) of your own home.
