We've been in a recession since 2008. It was papered over by QE. 2019-2020 is when the depression began. People and economists won't realize this until 3-5 years from now. People and economists don't know when they are currently in a depression or have been in one, until they look back on history. Regarding Rates: Everyone has been conditioned and programmed to think the fed will, like always, cut rates and go back to QE. They always could. However, they don't call it the great reset for no reason. They are raising rates to purposely implode everything. It's not due to stupidity or incompetence. This could be a head fake, sure. In my opinion though, the game of easy times, QE and the original playbook everyone is accustomed too, has ended, but nobody wants to accept that. They think the old game is still in play. The plug is being pulled. That should be obvious, somehow it's not. Everything is being reset. "They can't raise rates it will collapse the markets/economy etc". Yes, that's the plan. Hence, the Great Reset. The old game has ended. Raising rates in a depression, 97 food plants destroyed, gov paying farmers not to plant or grow and get rid of their cattle. Fuel issues, fertilizer issues, record heat from geoeneering, collapsing markets/wealth. As Catherine Austin Fitts says, this isn't a turn down, it's a take down. This is war, this is siege, the old game has ended. You're in the new world order, you're in the great reset. There is no going back to normal.
It’s hard to accept a view that is sprinkled with conspiracies throughout. Evidence to support your analysis would help. I do think it is understood that the current financial system is unsustainable. Yet it is also understood that the capitalist growth model is unsustainable. It is further clear that energy demand will exceed supply. And I think to most observers, the interconnection between these is significant. I personally think major change should occur, but it is better that it be managed and just, not left to fail chaotically. Yet I see no evidence to this effect, and still see public and private long-term planning based on the contours of the current configuration. While there are good ideas, no real alternative arrangement has been promoted or endorsed, and I suspect any top down changes would come with gradual warnings to avoid any shock. In other words, from the available evidence, we have a crisis of leadership. We need a new world order, and some kind of reset but none seems forthcoming. We should be concerned that nothing will happen, and what you see is what you get. We might have to actually build a better world ourselves.
@@Rnankn It's hard to accept because you think they are conspiracies. Evidence? I'm not about to write a 30,000 page book in UA-cam comments. I didn't read the rest of your comment.
That's what I'm thinking. Default instead of hyperinflation. Nobody expect this. Everyone is hoarding cash to buy at the bottom. The bottom may never come. This could be the end. An inflationary collapse provides more TIME for people to react but a default does not, this is key. CBDC is coming and there will be no alternative except physical gold/silver, perhaps crypto.

Wow. Fantastic to hear Alasdair's different perspective on the credit cycle, gold and currencies, and explained in terms and examples that are easy to comprehend. Yes please get him on again in the future. 😀👍
A classic, old-school speaker from the age of gentlemanly capitalism. OK, some UA-cam commentators here complain that many of Alasdair's predictions have not come about ~ but we all have something to learn from his unique, eloquent and well-informed take. 👍
Well said. Most will not be able to listen to Alister"s thoughts and believe they will come to pass until they come to pass and then it is too late to take action. Human history in a nutshell.
@Angelo Balbi Actually, once there was. It was the day of deals done by handshake. No contracts, just handshakes. Granted, this was a simpler time. The deals were much more straightforward. And you had to be within the old boys' network. Still ...
@Angelo Balbi Face to face business deals, or a deal with a new person to whom you had been introduced by someone already within your circle. It doesn't scale, of course, or not for long. The more a place becomes "financialised", the less likely it is that relationships based on acquaintance, or common background, and so on, can endure. To be sure, there have been very great benefits, but (if it's not too-stretched an analogy) they have been of the "just in time" variety, rather than "just in case". Normally, the cycle ends, and people get on with a financial re-build, but not this time I think. It's all gone entirely too far. CC
A brilliant perspective that makes logical sense and provides real food for thought. I would really look forward to hearing more from Alasdair if the data starts to confirm the thesis that the end of fiat currencies is inevitable. Great work Adam and for everything you are doing to inform the community.
Everytime I see an interview with Alasdair Macleod, I watch it. He is, imo, the most conscise and on point financial expert there is. I ALWAYS learn something new! Great Interview!
A well spoken gentleman with amazing foresight, with obvious integrity & a wonderful view of the truth. I loved hearing his presentation of the present & the future.
Alasdair MacLeod is a regular guest at Silver pumping channels. He made a lot of predictions (about Basel 3 etc) that went nowhere. To be honest not my favorite expert. But I’m curious so see what he has to say.
@@mikkimikki5376 Alasdair’s presentation is fantastic. I’ve listened to many of his analyses. But after some time I realized I should take him less serious than I did.
Jason Hartman has the Hartman index which shows assets vs each other, like how many barrels of oil it took to buy a median home in 1971 vs today. How many oz’s of gold it took and takes today. He has a similar conclusion as what was just said in this video.
With the BRICS movement, isn't it likely that the western countries will be forced to start backing their currency with something like a "basket of commodities", in order to maintain confidence in said currency?
Fiat currency is a ponzi and you cannot taper a ponzi. Backing the currency by anything stops the ability to print and the dollar collapses to zero in deflationary spiral. The truth is we've never been on a gold standard, just a con to printing and devalue the dollar. In 1933 gold is repriced by decree increasing money supply overnight by 63%, larger than 2020. Then post Bretton Woods we secretly begin printing again until France and Britain call our bluff. In August 1971 France sends a warship to NYC to collect their gold. Nixon breaks the gold standard a couple weeks later and England gets the goose. The destination is zero for the dollar, it's a mathematical certainty.
@@Wealthion Sir, but it is not your speech. It is the discipline of having the thought formulated. You look like you have the willpower require to stay in shape and required to run a business. Just apply that willpower to have the thought formulated ahead of speaking.
Greg is spot on, it's all about control. My Biggest Fear is we are Headed Toward Digital Money. You can't spend a Dime without them knowing... You and Dan spread the word !
As a Brit, I wish we could just replace the current governor of the bank of England with Alasdair Macleod - we might just have half a chance of surviving if we did.
The current situation has nothing to do with the level of competence of Central Bank governance. It’s been brought about deliberately. Everything is going to plan.
It could never happen, Alasdair isn't in the KlausSchwab/ pead.o gang. Absolute basic qualifications for any significant position in government, finance or the courts.
Your guest says Putin is squeezing Europe and that's quite false. It's Europe who placed sanctions on Russia and tried to squeeze Russia and it backfired, Europe ended up squeezing themselves. I love your show and watch every episode. I'm disappointing you haven't pushed back on that false framing of a massive issue.
@57:55 thats a TOCTOU! own 100k shares, use different account(s) to post buy orders, market sees that and adjusts price (check) but cancel BEFORE the sale goes through (the use)
Can't praise Alasdair Macleod enough. Thank you both of you for doing what you do. There looks to be no way out. For what my opinion is worth I agree with him; for the sake of our loved ones the best home for our savings is, and has been for some years now, in proper physical things, and money. Some smart (lucky?) fleet-of-foot traders have made a nonsense of that statement: more have lost their shirts. To understand Mr. M's observations regarding whether houses are assets or liabilities, do no more than read Adam Fergusson's “When Money Dies” - the day to day story of ordinary people in the German hyper-inflation. Startling stuff.
My mind was bifurcating on the thought that I hadn’t heard of bifurcation until a couple months ago, and now suddenly I hear the term quite frequently.
Thank you for bringing a speaker with opinions which is void of ideology as much as it is possible in modern world. Please bringing him again. I’m subscribing to your channel not to miss his participation again.
Thanks for a good interview,Alasdair is very good and I am sure he knows that Europe is screwing itself up,his viewpoint is always backed up with interesting research
This man Alasdair Macleod is brilliant. He is insightful and presents a scenario on the banks that can usurp the balance of the fiat currencies worldwide. I am wagering Alasdair is imperically correct this go round
He's very switched on with regard to the financial system and global geopolitics. However, I feel that he's missing the bigger picture in all of this......central banks are operating in unison deliberately and by design, not through incompetence or misguided policy decisions. These people are highly educated and know exactly what they're doing, even if they're not the ultimate source of the power.
At 1.07.30, he says in 1940 Berlin, you could have bought a nice house for 5 oz of gold. The house is now worth $2 millions. But 5 oz of gold is currently only worth $9,000. Is it not better to buy property? Am I missing something?
This statement came after talking about futures market, government and bank suppression, of gold. I interpreted his statement as, that when the fiat system unwinds, golds true value (physical scarcity, hyper inflation, etc) should be realized. Without quoting a price, he equated golds value to purchasing a home (as its intended to be used) using the five ounces that bought a $100 home will buy you the same by todays comparative standard. So for a $2million home you’d be looking at 400…thousand..per oz. Comparatively. Gold has never changed. It’s the same lump of shiny goodness it’s always been. It’s real money. And real money is never destroyed or disappears, it only changes hands. If what he’s saying were to fully play out…It would be an epic wealth transfer. There’s a lot of different avenues to go down here house prices coming down..etc. So for brevity (I have shit to do) I’m keeping it at “tit for tat”.
I think Alisdair is a bit extreme, and we might be waiting 10 years for this, if it even happens. But the fact that the currency is going down the toilet, I think we all agree on that one.
Once debt cascades begin, they are like avalanches. Will it take ten years for the first snowflake to fall off the edge and head downhill? Personally, I doubt it.
Alasdair MacLeod is a gem. Spot on with his analysis. Not sure how long the $USD system will last. I invest only in Physical Gold, Physical Silver, Silver and gold mining shares, BTC and crypto. The creation of a new reserve currency by China and Russian will result in a bi-polar world of $USD vs new reserve currency. Important to note that 140 countries, representing 6 billion people and 45% of world GDP have not signed on to sanctions against Russia. I pray for NO NUKES!!
Regarding Jamie diamon's hurricane, he could be impelling selling so they pick up the assets cheaper, knowing that whatever happens, the Fed will bail them out and reliquify them. No?
57:05 When gold becomes money the value is within the assayer/minter aka its acceptable confidence. What's currently available to us in digital format are blockchains with their miners/validators.

The level of taxation is quite low in Russia but so is the Standard of living!
The standard of living in the West is more than half the problem, it is far from sustainable.
@@denistrethewy7288 it could be sustainable but the majority has been robbed by the ruling class who are selfish and gluttonous
Alasdair is the best!
Nice to hear someone calling it as it really is.
Alister is brilliant, thank you for having him on :D
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 I‘ve learned so much!
Going back to gold standard does not constrain printing of money!??
Lol
Excellent interview Adam!
Alasdair is the prince amongst thieves. The Merlin of finance. Cheers!
Can't praise Alasdair Macleod enough. Thank you both of you for doing what you do.
There looks to be no way out. For what my opinion is worth I agree with him; for the sake of our loved ones the best home for our savings is, and has been for some years now, in proper physical things, and money. Some smart (lucky?) fleet-of-foot traders have made a nonsense of that statement: more have lost their shirts.
To understand Mr. M's observations regarding whether houses are assets or liabilities, do no more than read Adam Fergusson's “When Money Dies” - the day to day story of ordinary people in the German hyper-inflation. Startling stuff.
My mind was bifurcating on the thought that I hadn’t heard of bifurcation until a couple months ago, and now suddenly I hear the term quite frequently.
I always enjoy the thought of Alasdair... Please get him on more often...
Thank you for bringing a speaker with opinions which is void of ideology as much as it is possible in modern world. Please bringing him again. I’m subscribing to your channel not to miss his participation again.
Best hour of time spent this month! Thanks for the content Wealthion.
Please make this a reoccurring guest!!
Thanks for a good interview,Alasdair is very good and I am sure he knows that Europe is screwing itself up,his viewpoint is always backed up with interesting research
Used to love seeing Alistair on Keiser Report. Glad that you get him on here now.
I like this guest’s analysis.
It's good to not be the smartest guy in the room sometimes, that's why I learn everyday from people like you. Carry on Wealthion.
How do you see gold when the social credit type system comes into play?
This man Alasdair Macleod is brilliant. He is insightful and presents a scenario on the banks that can usurp the balance of the fiat currencies worldwide. I am wagering Alasdair is imperically correct this go round
He's very switched on with regard to the financial system and global geopolitics. However, I feel that he's missing the bigger picture in all of this......central banks are operating in unison deliberately and by design, not through incompetence or misguided policy decisions. These people are highly educated and know exactly what they're doing, even if they're not the ultimate source of the power.
Always a pleasure to listen to Alasdair
Excellent content. Thanks Alasdair!!!
At 1.07.30, he says in 1940 Berlin, you could have bought a nice house for 5 oz of gold. The house is now worth $2 millions. But 5 oz of gold is currently only worth $9,000. Is it not better to buy property? Am I missing something?
This statement came after talking about futures market, government and bank suppression, of gold. I interpreted his statement as, that when the fiat system unwinds, golds true value (physical scarcity, hyper inflation, etc) should be realized.
Without quoting a price, he equated golds value to purchasing a home (as its intended to be used) using the five ounces that bought a $100 home will buy you the same by todays comparative standard. So for a $2million home you’d be looking at 400…thousand..per oz. Comparatively.
Gold has never changed. It’s the same lump of shiny goodness it’s always been. It’s real money. And real money is never destroyed or disappears, it only changes hands. If what he’s saying were to fully play out…It would be an epic wealth transfer.
There’s a lot of different avenues to go down here house prices coming down..etc. So for brevity (I have shit to do) I’m keeping it at “tit for tat”.
Good review of the current global situation.
Thanks!
I think Alisdair is a bit extreme, and we might be waiting 10 years for this, if it even happens. But the fact that the currency is going down the toilet, I think we all agree on that one.
Once debt cascades begin, they are like avalanches. Will it take ten years for the first snowflake to fall off the edge and head downhill? Personally, I doubt it.
@@christopherclayton8577brrrrr, it feels like it may be about to start snowing. Futures so bright😎
@@robmcilroy2911 bright for cryptocurrency!
Very informative and site full
Totally enjoy, Alasdair MacLeod🌟
I love his insight. Another great interview.
Alasdair MacLeod is a gem. Spot on with his analysis. Not sure how long the $USD system will last. I invest only in Physical Gold, Physical Silver, Silver and gold mining shares, BTC and crypto. The creation of a new reserve currency by China and Russian will result in a bi-polar world of $USD vs new reserve currency. Important to note that 140 countries, representing 6 billion people and 45% of world GDP have not signed on to sanctions against Russia. I pray for NO NUKES!!
Mr macleod is indeed very wise on the mechanics of the gold market 💯👍
Thanks Allister. For the report
Great Interview 😎 ✅
Gold, Silver, Bitcoin
LOVE HIS VOICE
He makes a perfect case for Bitcoin as wel! Great analysis!
Regarding Jamie diamon's hurricane, he could be impelling selling so they pick up the assets cheaper, knowing that whatever happens, the Fed will bail them out and reliquify them. No?
Interesting. Is headline suggesting that it isn't collapsing ATM?
Excellent comments. Alasdair, articulates the situation so well.
Wonderful,Giving and courageous advice
57:05 When gold becomes money the value is within the assayer/minter aka its acceptable confidence. What's currently available to us in digital format are blockchains with their miners/validators.
