Deflationary Politics and Economic Trends

The video discusses the shift from an inflationary to a deflationary political mindset, where economic policies focus on distinguishing between 'good' and 'bad' actors rather than treating everyone equally. It uses Dubai's economic situation as an example of this shift and questions the likelihood of future bailouts for countries and corporations.
