Kyla Scanlon, Author of "In This Economy?” joins The Rundown to unpack why markets and the global economy increasingly feel like a reality TV show. We break down the end of the “Great Moderation,” the bond market’s new role as a check on political power, and why uncertainty may be the defining economic force of the next decade. Kyla and Zaid dive into Japan’s fragile bond market, the unraveling of the yen carry trade, and how global capital flows could push borrowing costs higher in the U.S. Finally, Kyla explains how China is gaining soft power through energy and AI, and whether there’s still reason to be optimistic about America’s economic future.
