INTERVIEW From Fiat to Fractional Gold and Goldbacks

The Arterburn Radio Transmission Podcast

Prepare to have your perceptions of the global economy transformed as gold expert Tony Arterman joins us to navigate the currents reshaping monetary systems worldwide. From the unexpected emergence of a gold-backed currency in Zimbabwe to the Federal Reserve's futile efforts to curb gold's rise with interest rate hikes, this episode uncovers the seismic shifts that could redefine your investment strategy. As China hoards gold at an alarming rate and nations pivot away from dollar dependency, we dissect what these moves mean for the American investor, while also offering a critical lens on how central bank actions reflect on your portfolio's golden glow.
Trade policies are more than political fodder; they're the chess moves in the grand game of global economics. Today, we dissect the profound implications of a blanket 25% tariff on manufacturing imports and the controversial call to scrap corporate taxes, debating their potential to revitalize American job markets or plunge fiscal responsibility into chaos. The specter of trade wars looms as we assess the dark underbelly of international commerce, including slave labor and digital economies, urging a reconsideration of tangible assets such as gold in an increasingly virtual financial landscape.
As whispers of a looming economic reset grow louder, we explore the rising importance of gold and silver against the backdrop of a weakening dollar and an unpredictable market. Yet, it's not just investments in the crosshairs; personal sovereignty is at stake as we probe the tools of psychological warfare and the pressing need for self-reliance. Discover how everything from backyard chickens to local governance plays a role in fortifying your independence in an era of change. Finally, we demystify goldbacks and fractional gold, presenting them as innovative bastions of wealth amidst the tempest of economic transformation.
