Max and Stacy chat with Michael Krieger, the poet laureate of the debt apocalypse, about bitcoin, localism and an era beyond voting every four years for more status quo. Michael also describes the circumstances behind the great tomato disaster of 2020.
Michael Krieger is the creator and editor of Liberty Blitzkrieg, a popular blog that has recently gone on hiatus. Michael attended college at Duke University where he earned a double major in Economics and Spanish. After completing his studies in 2000, he took a job at Lehman Brothers where he worked in the Equity Research Department. In 2005, he joined Sanford C. Bernstein where he served as the Commodities Analyst on the trading floor. Over time, Michael no longer felt satisfied working within the industry and he resigned in January 2010. At that point, he started a family investment office and focused on writing macro pieces on economic, social and geopolitical topics. He gradually recognized that his true passion centers upon writing on issues of significant societal importance given the extremely challenging times we live in. This realization culminated with the launching of Liberty Blitzkrieg in 2012. You can find his latest viewpoints on Twitter at @LibertyBlitz.
