During this interview, Jason asks Nomi about the effects a strong US Dollar on the US Dollar Index can have on the global economy and how much damage it can do to the global economy? Jason and Nomi discuss how the amount of foreign government denominated debt in US Dollars and foreign corporate debt denominated in US Dollars has basically risen an order of magnitude in the last few decades. Jason then asks Nomi about if anything has been fixed in the banking system since the 2008 financial crisis?
