Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Commodities Market, Sovereign Debt Crisis, and Digital Currencies

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Commodities Market, Sovereign Debt Crisis, and Digital Currencies

For the first episode of The Jay Show, Jay discusses a number of contemporary issues with the Right Honourable Stephen Harper. As Canada’s 22nd Prime Minister, Mr. Harper led Canada’s quick recovery from the 2008 depression, and Jay draws on that expertise to shed light on a possible future. Jay seeks his perspective on a number of topics, including the most important decisions/policies he put in place to help Canada make the most of the growth in resource prices through his tenure as PM. Mr. Harper also offers his thoughts on the commodities market, and the end game with our runaway government debts and the potential of a sovereign debt crisis. They deliberate, if the USD is sustainable as the world reserve currency, what happens to the US if they were to lose Reserve currency status, and what would replace it? Jay also gets Mr. Harper’s thoughts on Central Bank Issued Digital Currencies and the economic forces that have been tipping the world toward populism. Moreover, they discuss the extent to which major technology companies (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.) are responsible for the growing divide and unrest, and the industries Mr. Harper feels will provide the most opportunities for young entrepreneurs. To stay up to date with Mr. Harper, you can follow his official Twitter account @stephenharper, and be sure to pick up a copy of his book, Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption.
