<p>Mentor Sessions Ep. 067: The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse, Boomers Hoarding All Assets With No Buyers Left, and Why AI Demands Expertise| Michael Green &amp; Jeffrey Tucker</p><p><br></p><p>What if the problem isn&#39;t the policy — it&#39;s the system itself?</p><p><br></p><p>Michael Green and Jeffrey A. Tucker sit down for a rare, wide-ranging conversation that cuts to the root of what&#39;s wrong with modern economics, monetary policy, and the assumptions most people never think to challenge. From the structural shifts that began in the mid-20th century to the invisible architecture of today&#39;s financial system, this discussion pulls back the curtain on ideas that mainstream economists refuse to touch.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, you&#39;ll learn why participation in the current financial system doesn&#39;t equal understanding of it, what economic data from 1950 reveals about where we are today, how the incentives baked into modern money shape behavior at every level of society, why Bitcoin represents a genuine alternative rather than just another asset, and what both Green and Tucker believe must change before any real economic reform is possible. If you&#39;ve ever felt like the official explanations don&#39;t add up — this conversation will give you the framework to understand why.</p><p><br></p><p>⏱️ Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 - The Dual Income Trap: How Two Incomes Masked America&#39;s Decline</p><p>00:01:02 - Introducing Michael Green &amp; Jeffrey Tucker</p><p>00:01:36 - Jeffrey Tucker: The Real Story Behind Household Income Stats</p><p>00:06:33 - 1950 (20%) vs 1990s (65%): Rise of Dual Income Households</p><p>00:10:05 - Michael Green on Expenses, Childcare &amp; True Economic Health</p><p>00:13:46 - $30,000/Year Childcare: The Hidden Cost Destroying Families</p><p>00:17:41 - Golden Handcuffs: Corporate Jobs &amp; Benefits Trap</p><p>00:20:05 - Retirement System That Forces Boomer Asset Hoarding</p><p>00:23:57 - Demographic Crisis: No Buyers Left for Boomer Assets</p><p>00:27:28 - Housing Market Breakdown &amp; Reverse Mortgages</p><p>00:32:45 - Why Individualism Over Community Broke the System</p><p>00:39:56 - Antitrust Failure, Consolidation &amp; Real Capitalism</p><p>00:42:33 - Corporate Consolidation Crushing Competition (Food, Healthcare, Tech)</p><p>00:49:57 - Voluntary vs Coercive Exchanges: Capitalism&#39;s Hidden Flaw</p><p>00:55:19 - COVID Mandates &amp; Why Libertarianism Keeps Failing</p><p>01:00:11 - How Intellectual Property Created Tech Monopolies</p><p>01:02:48 - Michael Green on the Philadelphia Society</p><p>01:05:13 - History of Women Entering the Labor Force</p><p>01:17:02 - Future Outlook: Community Return &amp; Economic Self-Correction</p><p>01:22:25 - AI, Job Market Shifts &amp; Deflationary Bust Warning</p><p><br></p><p>🔗 Links &amp; Resources:</p><p><br></p><p>Michael Green:</p><p>• Twitter/X: https://x.com/profplum99</p><p>• Simplify Asset Management: https://www.simplify.us</p><p><br></p><p>Jeffrey A.
