This Time is Different
Heresy Financial: 8-7-2023
The most terrifying phrase you could ever hear in financial markets is this time is different.
Today, interest rates are skyrocketing, but they've been here before.
Today, the debt-to-GDP ratio is near 120%. But it, too, has been here before.
Mortgage rates, inflation, unemployment, and bank failures. The list goes on and on.
For every macroeconomic factor that seems to forecast doom and gloom.
