I'm Scott Galloway, and this is No Mercy, No Malice. Last week, we saw the tariff war jump the lab and become a capital war. United States of Debt, as read by George Hahn.
James Carville America is blinking. The day after April Fool's Day, President Trump liberated the United States from an eight-decade run as the world's economic superpower, raising the cost of capital for the federal government, American companies and consumers. If this sounds like stupidity, i.e. hurting others while also hurting yourself, trust your instincts. But don't. Trust America.
A blackout drunk is behind the wheel of the U.S. economy. All around us, horns—bear markets, consumer confidence plummeting to historic lows—are blaring. In the backseat is a cultist, the GOP, who thinks the red lights Trump has blown through and the accidents in his wake are baller moves.
Also in the backseat, a sulking teen, the Democrats, who's visibly upset but can't articulate what they want or suggest a better route. Riding shotgun, though, is an adult the driver can't ignore. The bond market. First-year economics students are taught that money evolved to make early barter systems practical.
In his book, Debt, The First 5,000 Years, anthropologist David Graeber argues that the barter story was likely a fiction created by Adam Smith. Graeber believes the earliest coins were actually tokens used to keep track of debt. Quote, Debt is both a financial instrument and a social construct that binds people, firms, and nations to one another and links together the past, present, and future.
