## Resource

Mickey and Matt sit down with economist Peter C. Earle, Ph.D, to unpack why so many people feel the financial system is more unstable than it used to be, what signals and trends he’s watching now, and how elevated inflation and geopolitical tensions around energy are shaping the broader economy and everyday investors’ portfolios. Peter is Director of Economics and Economic Freedom and a Senior Research Fellow at AIER, with a Ph.D in Economics, an MA in Applied Economics, an MBA in Finance, and a BS in Engineering from West Point, and more than 20 years’ experience as a trader and analyst in securities and hedge funds, as well as extensive consulting in cryptocurrency and gaming. Peter has been quoted by the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, Barron’s, Bloomberg, Reuters and more!
