Jim Rickards spoke at the National Center for Policy Analysis in late April. In this long video, the author of The Death of Money first discusses why central banks are always so wrong in their forecasting and policies. He relates how it took 100 years for science to understand and accept that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. In the same way, modern economics is just beginning a similar process of realizing its fundamental models are entirely incorrect.
Rickards moves on to explain why a much larger financial crisis is imminent since modern economic policy is so wrong. He sees a bailout of global central banks in the not-too-distant future, which would lead to massive inflation and eventually $10,000 an ounce price for gold. It’s no wonder he recommends owning physical gold and other hard assets as a way to protect your portfolio.
