Does Housing Debt Create Inequality? Part 2 - Interview with Greg W. Fuller
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
Most Western economies–the United States, Britain, Canada, the Scandinavian countries and Spain to name a few–are experiencing high levels of debt associated with housing combined with intense affordability issues. In some economies, the 2008 crisis corrected house prices to some degree, but in the post-COVID environment house-prices have once again risen. Similar or greater levels of debt have again manifested themselves.
Is the root of this a problem with credit markets and mortgage debt?
Don’t miss this second part of our interview with Greg Fuller as we dive deep down the realm of housing debt.
Enjoy listening!

Success Quotes:
“If you give capital kind of a structural advantage over labor, you're gonna get growing inequality on a global scale.”
