He introduces the Buffett Indicator and uses it to compare current market valuations with the dot-com era, while asking whether the AI boom carries similar risks. Andy also discusses Margaret Thatcher’s warning about socialism, the Jackson-era payoff of federal debt and the role of land-sale revenue, and the railroad industry’s early expansion. The conversation closes with Lords of Finance and its lessons about hyperinflation and financial history.
