Empires start off being rising tides. They then produce the conditions where there are falling tides. They destroy themselves from within.

Excellent interview! Professor Wolff is a genius and his commentary on world affairs and especially domestic, is the best thing since sliced bread.

The old adage, "Follow the money" is still good advice. I could have listened to Professor Wolff for another hour.

Grocery prices are not rising slowly. They make sudden jumps. Produce, coffee, paper products, dairy all went up sharply in last few months.
