His macro research has been highlighted in various media platforms, including Bloomberg, Business Insider, and Financial Times. He enjoys spending his free time producing hip-hop instrumentals and nurturing his puppy Nas.   In this episode Naufal joins Bill to discuss Naufal's view on inflation, policy efficacy, and what to watch for going forward.  Bill, historically an Austrian leaning investor, found it interesting to listen to Naufal describe his view of the world, which is far more Keynesian and could be called Modern Monetary Theory driven.     The Business Brew is proud to feature this conversation for many reasons.  One of which is the discussion is counter to the current market narrative/pricing on/of future inflation. If you like to consider both sides of an issue, this is a must listen macro episode.      Also, please consider donating to https://www.publicolor.org/ if Naufal's message resonates with you.
