Episode description

David Stockman’s The Great Deformation presents a critical analysis of eighty years of American economic policy. Stockman argues that the Federal Reserve’s actions, coupled with the influence of crony capitalism, have led to a series of financial crises and unsustainable levels of debt. He traces this pattern through various administrations, highlighting flawed policies such as fiscal stimulus and financial bailouts. The book contends that these interventions have distorted free markets and fostered reckless speculation on Wall Street. Stockman ultimately calls for a return to sound money principles and a reduction in the size and scope of government. He uses historical examples to support his claims, examining specific events and the roles of key individuals.
