这次对话探讨了美国债务的可持续性,以及当世界上最安全的资产不安全时会发生什么。

Professor Lustig encourages readers to look to history, such as 20th-century Britain’s loss of dominance, to understand how the past can predict the future and why America’s “exorbitant privilege” has limits. He examines the emerging alternatives: Bitcoin’s fundamental constraints, stablecoins’ paradoxical role in extending dollar hegemony, and why central banks are suddenly accumulating gold.自始至终,勒斯蒂格都在反思在世界最深入的金融市场挑战共识思维意味着什么。

Jack Murawczyk: Where do you most sharply disagree with the consensus view on financial markets, the U.S. economy, or the sustainability of public debt?

Hanno Lustig:我开始通过研究所有国债的估值来思考政府债务的估值。

汉诺·勒斯蒂格:

要达到 38 万亿美元这样的数字,我们必须相信什么?

You must believe there will be a huge fiscal correction, because ultimately the value of debt should be backed by future primary government surpluses. When you do the numbers, you realize that either bond investors are pricing in a huge fiscal correction that seems impossible, or Treasuries are significantly overpriced.
