In this episode of Bespokecast, we talk to Ernie Tedeschi of Evercore ISI. Ernie is a policy economist and Head of Fiscal Analysis, and has been immersed in analysis of public policy his entire career. He’s had broad experience in the private sector, as well as working at the US Treasury for several years in a policy evaluation role. In our discussion, we focus on the current policy backdrop for the US, primarily through the lens of the newly released long-term budget and economic growth forecasts updated by the CBO in early April. We also review Fed policy, and get Ernie’s thoughts on Amazon’s HQ2, the outlook for the Bay Area, and more. You can follow Ernie on Twitter here and see what he’s writing on Medium here.

In this episode of Bespokecast, we talk to Jerome Levy Forecasting Center Managing Director and Director of Research Srinivas Thiruvadanthai. Srinivas is one of the most original and informed economic thinkers out there, and it was great to dive into his perspectives on profits, inflation, and monetary policy. Srinivas also shared some fascinating perspectives on higher education, his experience growing up in India, and the application of two of his pastimes – bridge and cricket – to analysis of the economy and markets. We also spend a large chunk of time discussing modern monetary theory and the Anglo-Saxon model of government. Please note, during the conversation we discuss the “profits perspective”, which you may want to read about in more detail. You can do so at this link. We also mention a talk from Professor Robert Putnam of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Public Policy. You can see that talk here.

In this episode of Bespokecast, we have two guests. Jill Carlson (@_jillruth and jill-carlson.com) is an independent blockchain analyst and developer, with experience trading, academically researching, and building crypo products. She’s a former bond trader with a nuanced and practical view of the space but an optimistic outlook for the implications and possible deployments of blockchain tech. Dan Ciotoli is Bespoke’s crypto analyst. You can see his work on @bespokecrpyto. Dan has an undergraduate degree in computer science and is hugely enthusiastic about the crypto space, while retaining a healthy dose of skepticism about the current market. We managed to make it most of the way through our discussion without discussing price action; instead, we focused on the underlying technology and philosophy of crypto products and the blockchain, discussing both what it does well and misapplications. If you’re not at least generally familiar with what blockchain and crypto are, we strongly recommend our Bespoke Brief on the subject, which you can read here.
