TJJames Grant for Federal Reserve Chairman, 2020. And his next move will likely be … SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. :-)
-
DMJim Grant manages to always talk about Gold, and always manages to be interesting and insightful.
-
JLAlmost 70 but what a youthful, playful soul. Always spewing out interesting metaphors while at the same time aiming for precision. Of the 10 or so podcasts I regularly listen to my heart always skips a little extra when he has a new episode out. More of Jim Grant on RV, please.
-
SBThe "10 day/10 day" cracked me up
-
JMWatching this several months later and Jim's scenario about a dovish Fed halting a USD rise and leading to reflation in EM was right on. I don't think he was predicting it but it shows he had kept his mind open even as the markets were crashing.
-
RMBrilliant. "Dominance of this vital part of finance by professors...inexperienced in the way the world works, its unusual..."
-
BLReally great interview. Very meaty. No BS. Clear headed.
-
PJGreat interview could listen to James all day, be great to have him back again in the future
-
MCExcellent interview. Have seen him speak before. One of the best students of history out there. Covers a lot of ground and always coherent. And then... "Trump is an Aussie!"
-
SWhat a great interview. I always find James's thoughts like finding air.
-
fcBless this man

-
JFPlease have him back. He has a common sense approach to all he says. I have been reading his articles for awhile. He has much wisdom to impart.
-
JLWe have short memories. The historical perspectives provided by Jim are fantastic and often portrayed with incredible wit. This is a great interview.
-
VBthere is a massive boom going on in philadelphia cranes everywhere doesnt feel remotely recessionary
-
ELThe intellectual expansion alone of this discussion is reason enough to spend the time to listen
-
DOVery entertaining!
-
CTNot only has Jim Grant seen it all, he actually understands much of what he has seen! Articulate, with a dry wit. One of RTV's top 10 interviews.
-
MBExcellent interview, but... why are these guys still baffled by the actions of central bankers? It's pretty obvious that it's all about manipulation and wealth transfer to the men behind the curtain.
-
CBVery refreshing thanks for this interview
-
TFGreat! Have him back.
-
LRIt is always good fun to rubbish the central banks, but please could you add a session on what should be done?
-
CCone of the very best yet. Please have him back soon.
-
BLBrilliant content plus the wonderful way James Grant uses the language.
-
JvLovely conversation.
-
MFIt's like watching the two old codgers from the Muppet Show. 'Back in my day...', 'the problem is...', etc. Entertaining yes, but a bit rambling.
-
JHOne person did not like this interview. Who knew Janet Yellen was an RVTV subscriber!
-
MRfar too short an interview. i had hoped for more.
-
TNI've been hoping for a Jim Grant interview on RV for some time, and it didn't disappoint. Great work!
-
BJLoved it. & very appropriate that in true contrarian form there was 1 who separated themselves from over 300 & actually disliked this interview! Disagree w/ assesment but like the thinking different!
-
PLMy favorite nerd

RPJust fabulous
-
RSAbsolutely Hilarious!!! Great Interview.
-
TSSo what will it be? 1) The FED will call it off the $US will weaken and we will get another leg up in equities. or 2) The $US rockets and all the bad debt will be creatively destroyed?
-
TSGood nugget about ultra low rates bringing forward consumption AND pushing back business failure.
-
spPlease Please Please rope him in for a regular segment.. Please Please Please
-
KDI thought both Grants were superb!
-
LW3xE: entertaining, educational and enlightning.
-
JBCan you develop a function to cast videos using Chromecast?
-
RMI found I was grinning from ear to ear for almost the entire conversation! Such excellence in thought combined with humility and humor (from both Grants)! Outstanding!!!
-
lhave him on all the time why not? Tips For Youngsters ..
-
lalso, thank god for humor
-
lwhat a mensch. this was a very gratifying a view - it installs confidence to see someone who's been around for enough , saying these things. I'm not just a crazy youngster etc... but the timing!
-
YMI'm adopting Jim Grant as a grandpa! He's so wise and inspiring.
-
JDDitto on Jim Grant for Fed Chairman
-
BFbrilliant does not do the entire conversation justice
-
GPI agree totally that certain members of the Fed,past and present,are like children.My offspring,when children,knew exactly what the were doing.It was many years later they realized they were clueless.
-
MDJim Grant is simply brilliant in his cogent thesis on central banker manipulation of free markets and its perilous consequences.
-
LALove his candor and humor! Common sense prevails!
-
WMJim Grant for Fed chair - so he can disband the PhD standard for monetary (mis-)management! 2 Grants - brilliant & funny interview!
-
TJSimply brilliant and full of common sense truths about markets and the stupidity of central banks. I could have listened to Jim and Grant for hours.
-
THIt takes a genius to state the obvious. Good stuff!
-
KSDisagree w/comment FED are like children. IMO FED knows exactly what it is doing, it hides behind false academics to fulfill it's neoliberal agenda. Austerity & privatization of public is plan.
-
RMIt's funny how everyone hates gold BUT everyone wears it!!!
-
FSOne of my favorite interviews on RVTV, and I've seen them all. I will be re-watching this one for some time!
-
GGWhat a treat! It was a delight hearing a clear-thinking voice such as Jim´s swimming amongst today´s noise and confusion and finding some footing on which to hold on to.
-
MMThanks RV for presenting complex dynamics and keeping it simple understand. Cheers!
-
DCGreat Interview!
-
CWAs a fellow journalist and historian, all I can say is fantastic!
-
GTIt's great just to listen to someone and let their mind wander from topic to topic.It is also great for those to justify their analysis. RV lets us hear both.
