The Parallels of Past and Present in Finance - Mark Higgins | #594
Episode 594
Today’s guest is Mark J. Higgins, a Senior VP for IFA Institutional, where he focuses on providing advisory services to institutions. He’s also the author of Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future, which is one of my favorite books on financial history.
In today’s episode, Mark explores the parallels between historical financial crises and today’s economic landscape. He touches on the disturbing trends in private markets, the ethics of asset management, the evolution of U.S. debt, the future of the U.S. dollar, and more.
