Edward Dowd returns to the show to break down the forces driving global instability, financial fragility, and the growing risk of large-scale conflict. Drawing from his background in institutional finance and macroeconomic analysis, Edward explains why markets appear strong on the surface while underlying conditions continue to deteriorate. They explore demographic collapse, the AI investment bubble, the concentration of wealth and power, and why war has historically been used as a mechanism to reset failing systems. Edward also examines the limits of central banking, the distortion of economic data, and how propaganda and narrative control shape public perception during periods of decline. This conversation is a sober assessment of where the world stands today — and why preparing mentally, financially, and socially matters more than ever.
