The Pomp Podcast · The Fed's Latest Move Just Changed Everything | Darius Dale · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

Part of the reason for that is this dynamic called the wealth pump.

Peter Turchin, his colleagues at the Crisis DBE and the Complexity Science Institute in Vienna, they've done a tremendous amount of academic research on this.

It's quite possibly the most well-researched socioeconomic database that I've ever seen in my two decades of doing this and even throughout my scholastic experience.

Basically, what they found is that

The bigger the government gets, the more it gets weaponized to create disparate outcomes for certain groups relative to other groups.

The more the divvying up of the pie starts to get bad, basically.

It starts to create more conflict and violence in society.

And so if I can just end with this,

you know, part of the data that they presented in this in this in this crisis DB database and the complexity Science Institute.

And again, this is like hundreds of PhD researchers from universities all over the world have combined to, you know, kind of contribute to this over the past few decades, a couple of decades.

And so now that they are finally starting to publish a lot of their work, you know, I'll just leave you with seven numbers.

If you look at economies that share the US's current K-shaped dynamics,

And part of the reason we have current K-shaped dynamics is because of K-shaped monetary policy, K-shaped fiscal policy, and K-shaped regulatory policy that's been used to extract rent and wealth from the lower classes of society to the upper classes of society.

When you have those types of K-shaped dynamics that are being driven by what they call the wealth pump,

you tend to have very bad outcomes.

So let me just go through seven numbers here.

If you look at the historical probability of these outcomes, and thus far, they've done this across 100 different societies, expanding millennia.

Obviously, all the big ones in there, the Chinese, Rome, US, French, all these other big societies.

I think they're currently studying another 200, if I'm not correct.

But the first 100, the first main ones that they had the best data for, this is the historical probability of select outcomes.
