Australians Openly Embrace Economic Self Destruction

In a definitive review of last weeks budget, Economist John Adams and Analyst Martin North go to town on the real agenda, the false assumptions, and the long term impacts of the Governments approach.

Macro Backdrop WTF is happening with Martin North

A show I recorded for Alt Asset Allocation:

“Martin is a deep thinker and I really enjoyed this conversation. In this episode, we talk about the Australian & New Zealand Economies, the local investment mindset, and the overall financial markets there. In this conversation, we get quite philosophical on where the world is now as a result of COVID and where we could be going.

Absolutely fascinating and worth thinking about”.
