Alex looks at an article from The Information detailing an aggressive decline in venture capital funds raised for investment into China. Both U.S. based firms specializing in foreign investment and domestic entities deploying Chinese yuan into early stage startups in China have seen an over 60% drop in capital raised. Moazed goes on to explain why he thinks this decline is occurring and why this could be a boost for the U.S. early stage investing landscape. This is an excerpt from episode 190 of Winner Take All.

The Federal Reserve has broken our American economy and I sit down with Chris Leonard to discuss his new book that details how our monetary system ended up here teetering on ruin. Chris is a New York Times best selling author and his new book The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy is a "fascinating and propulsive story about the Federal Reserve" and how quantitative easing and political posturing have put America's monetary system in peril. I talked to Chris about how the United States Federal Reserve has printed an astronomical amount of money under FED Chairs Ben S. Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell. We dig into why the Federal Reserve was originally created and how the institution has changed over the years to become, as meme lords would put it, the folks who make the "money printer go brrr". Chris offers his insights into why a crash is all but imminent for the American economy and what role inflation plays in accelerating this in 2022.

A new U.S. government executive order has barred investment in 31 companies identified by the Department of Defense as “Communist Chinese military companies”. The ban, taking effect January 11, 2021, aims to curb American investment aid in China’s military. Alex discusses large market index providers, including S&P Dow Jones and MSCI, removing these stocks from global investable market indexes and breaks down why he thinks the U.S. is making this move.
