Ben Carlson is the Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and the author of several books about investing. He is the founder of the blog "A Wealth of Common Sense." He is also a co-founder and co-host of the podcast "Animal Spirits with Michael and Ben," which is an informative and fun podcast about the markets and the economy, et cetera.
On this episode, Ben and I discuss:
Inflation and how it relates to the stock market
The current bearish market and why everything is so confusing
How we can have a recession with very low unemployment
90s Hip Hop
The three books he would assign to a 25-year-old who wants to learn about money
What we should and shouldn't do when the stock market is battered and bloody
Where there is hope for the future of our economy
All this and more with Ben Carlson.
