  2. Private Credit's Black Box + Why It's Not 2008 (But Still Risky)

    Private Credit's Black Box + Why It's Not 2008 (But Still Risky)

    This episode dives into how the opaque growth and structural risks in private credit, combined with global supply shocks and market stress spurred by the Iran war, are creating a uniquely fragile and unpredictable economic landscape.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   We discuss: The rapid rise of private credit, its lack of transparency, and why recent bankruptcies are raising red flags.  How $10 billion in redemption requests were submitted to major private credit funds in the first quarter of 2026—including major funds Apollo, Ares, and Blackstone.  Why this moment isn’t a repeat of 2008, but still presents real risks due to government debt levels and the lack of safety nets for private credit.  As Rebecca Patterson, CFR senior fellow, puts it: “No one has any idea what’s going to happen—and that’s exactly the challenge right now.”  Current structural risks in private credit, including liquidity mismatches, redemption limits (“gates”), and growing exposure to retail investors.  Why financial markets are behaving unusually, with rising bond yields and weakening traditional safe-haven assets.  How central banks are stuck between fighting inflation and supporting growth, creating a far more complex policy environment than past crises.   Mentioned on the Episode:   Sebastian Mallaby, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence, Penguin Random House   Want to keep up with The Spillover?

    U.S.-China AI Race Escalates + Chip Bans Aren’t Working + A Lesson From Nuclear Proliferation

    This episode unpacks the evolving U.S.-China AI rivalry, the limits of technological export controls, and what’s really at stake as both countries race to shape the future of intelligence.   Submit Your Question For a Chance to Win a Copy of Sebastian Mallaby’s Book The Infinity Machine!    Host:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Guest:   Chris McGuire, Senior Fellow for China and Emerging Technologies, CFR   We discuss: How U.S. export controls on chips are slowing China’s AI progress, but not stopping it, as loopholes, smuggling and cloud access weaken enforcement. Why China’s progress is stronger than expected, with competing models only months behind the U.S. As Chris McGuire, CFR senior fellow, puts it: “Whoever has the better AI is going to have the offense-defense advantage in the cyber realm.”  Why compute and advanced chips are the real bottleneck. Why the “AI intelligence explosion” is overstated, with real-world deployment slowed by infrastructure, regulation, and human constraints. The tension between containing China and working with it on global AI safety and governance.   Mentioned on the Episode:    Sebastian Mallaby, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence, Penguin Random House    Chris McGuire, “The New AI Chip Export Policy to China: Strategically Incoherent and Unenforceable,” CFR.org   Chris McGuire, “Trump’s Reversal on AI Chips is a Historic Blunder,” The Washington Post    Want to keep up with The Spillover?

    Iran War Spirals + Oil Shocks Keep Coming + China’s Advantage

    As the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran escalates, global markets are absorbing the shocks: oil prices are swinging, inflation expectations are rising, and safe-haven assumptions are being tested. China, by contrast, is looking relatively resilient, buoyed by strategic energy reserves, diversified supply chains, and policy flexibility. This episode examines how the conflict is driving inflation, complicating monetary policy, and handing China a geoeconomic edge.   Submit Your Question For a Chance to Win a Copy of Sebastian Mallaby’s Book The Infinity Machine!   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A.

    Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” Turns 250 + Free Markets Face Off Against Industrial Policy

    On the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, this episode revisits a book that laid the foundations of modern economics and then considers the tensions between free markets and industrial policy today. It highlights the ways in which specialization and global trade remain powerful drivers of prosperity, reflecting Smith’s insight that self-interest can benefit society when shaped by competition and institutions, while noting the ongoing relevance of his warnings about moral judgment, the rule of law, and resistance to cronyism.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A.

    Iran War Ignites Oil-Shock Stagflation Fears + Who Really Controls the Energy Market?

    U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran are disrupting energy markets. Iran’s production capacity has been hit, the Strait of Hormuz has essentially been closed, and Iran’s energy-producing neighbors have been dragged into the conflict. This episode looks at the spillovers from the resulting energy price shock and explores how structural shifts, including a surge in U.S. oil production, China’s emergence as a dominant buyer, and the growth of renewables have reshaped oil’s geopolitical and economic role.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Guest:   Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research, J.P.

    The AI Bubble + The Productivity Paradox + India’s AI Summit

    Is there an AI bubble, or just an OpenAI bubble? Markets remain focused on whether valuations can be justified by sufficiently fast revenue growth, while the real economy braces for AI’s impact on productivity, jobs, and other disruptions. With global leaders and tech CEOs convening in India to debate AI governance, the stakes are rising fast. Credit markets, hiring data, and business sentiment could signal whether this year will bring a continued jobless expansion or something more concerning.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A.

    U.S. Supreme Court Rules Against Trump’s Tariffs

    In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the government’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), holding that the statute does not authorize a president to impose sweeping tariffs. In this breaking news episode, host Rebecca Patterson is joined by Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and a former U.S. trade representative, to unpack the decision and discuss potential spillovers into financial and labor markets.   Host: Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Guest:  Michael Froman, President, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Want to keep up with The Spillover?

    The “European Onion” + China, Brazil, and India Take On MAGA

    European leaders are at an inflection point. After high-level meetings in Munich and Brussels, they must decide what role Europe will play in the unfolding new world order, politically and economically. Can China, India, and Brazil provide lessons on how to navigate the U.S. trade war? Can a “multi-speed” Europe with less and simpler regulation become a reality? As the world’s second-largest economy, the EU’s choices will shape global growth—and markets are watching.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Guest:    Edward Fishman, Senior Fellow and Director of the Maurice R.

    Japan’s Heavy Metal PM + Political Threats to Markets + China’s Sad Horse

    This episode examines the “Fragile Four” economies—the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and France—and why politics is increasingly spilling into financial markets. After a long stretch where markets largely shrugged off political volatility, an “age of inflation” coupled with high debt, aging demographics, rising defense spending, and anxious populations across the Fragile Four are making markets more reactive to political shocks. We break down what’s driving the shift and why cracks are appearing now.   Hosts:   Sebastian Mallaby, Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Rebecca Patterson, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   Mentioned on the Episode:    “Accidental ‘crying horse’ toy wins hearts in China,” Reuters    “Economic Anxiety Is a Global Problem,” Gallup   Want to keep up with The Spillover?
