In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:
- Growth Is Gone
- GDP is growing at a 0.4% annual rate
- Folly & A Finite Planet
- Our blind pursuit of external growth is dooming us
- Bubbles Create Bad Decision-making
- And we are in the biggest bubble yet
- The Panama Papers
- Yep – the rich *do* play by different rules

Sky-high valuations and moribund economic growth cannot exist together for long.
