Minimum Chips
Hear how the world of money works, with a comedian and a "real-life" economist. Adam is a high school dropout and former stand-up comedian turned cyber security professional. Mortgage owner and looking to invest but wants guaranteed returns. Easy right? Thomas studied economics at the University of Queensland and spent several years working at the Reserve Bank of Australia. He now works as an independent economic consultant, with a particular focus on the Australian property market. The best part is they're brothers. So you know there may be laughs, but there will definitely be fights.

Adam thinks it's a bit suss that share markets are marching on to all-time-highs while we've got the worst economic data in history. Thomas tells us why markets have detached from fundamentals thanks to money-printing, and tells us we should buy everything and/or raise a militia. All that and more on this week's Minimum Chips Podcast.

Suddenly the Government is splashing the cash around all over the place. What happened to that "budget emergency"? Where is that money coming from? Where is it going? How can Adam get some?
As we ask these questions, Thomas gives us a bunch of fancy names for money printing, and explains the difference between Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and vintage, small-batch monetary theory.
All that and more with the boys on this week's Minimum Chips.
