About Debate Footage

Debates pit experts against each other on the most contested questions in finance — active vs. passive investing, growth vs. value, crypto vs. traditional assets, and whether the market is overvalued or undervalued at any given moment. These clips are valuable precisely because they present opposing viewpoints with equal rigour, helping you stress-test your own assumptions.

The 1980s in Music

The 1980s were defined by Reaganomics, financial deregulation, and the rise of Wall Street's cowboy culture. The decade saw Black Monday in 1987 — the largest single-day percentage drop in stock market history — as well as the junk bond boom, the savings and loan crisis, and the birth of modern quantitative finance. Insights from this era illuminate how deregulation and leverage can fuel extraordinary growth and catastrophic risk in equal measure.
