Is the financial system broken—or just misunderstood? Economist and author Matt Sekerke joins FUTUREPROOF. to challenge conventional wisdom on money, banking, and policy. In his new book Making Money Work (co-authored with Steve Hanke), he argues that fiat money is still king, the Fed doesn’t have as much power as we think, and the obsession with decentralization is distracting us from deeper issues. This episode dives into the real causes of inflation, how trade deficits actually work, and what it would take to restore trust in our economic institutions.

Topics Discussed:

Why the Global Financial Crisis broke the system
What monetary neutrality means—and why we’ve forgotten it
The role of broad money supply in predicting recessions
The myth of crypto’s superiority over fiat
The misunderstood mechanics of trade deficits
How Trump-era tariffs reshaped global finance
Why China can’t yet lead a global financial system
The future of central banking and financial trust
