Yeah, personally I'd trace it back to the 2020 covid money printing mania, or even the 2019 (nearly) negative interest rates. I do think he's right to blame the rate hikes, and in turn, the inflation that necessitated them. But he does skip over the fact that these rate hikes shouldn't have been a surprise. The bankers had poor risk management by not considering the effect the rate hikes would have on their long duration bonds. And frankly, Sacks misses an opportunity here to shift blame to the bankers, who IMO are the real cause of the crisis (as always).
