Health, Wealth and the Pursuit of Happiness

The U.S. dollar has lost the vast majority of its purchasing power since gold was severed from the monetary system in 1971  and most people have no idea why, or what it means for their savings.

"In this episode, Murray Sabrin sits down with Jeff Deist, former President of the Mises Institute and current Chief Risk Officer of Monetary Metals (monetary-metals.com), to break down the real history of monetary policy, why the Federal Reserve's actions since the gold standard ended have quietly eroded American wealth, and why gold and silver still carry a "moneyness" that central banks around the world are racing to accumulate.

If you've ever wondered why central banks are buying gold at record levels, what "de-dollarization" actually means, or how everyday savers can protect themselves from inflation that runs far hotter than official numbers suggest  this conversation lays it all out in plain English.

🔑 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

– Why the 1971 gold standard collapse still shapes the economy today

– How "moneyness" makes gold different from every other asset

– Why real inflation is higher than savings account interest rates

– What central bank gold buying signals about the future of the dollar

– How everyday people can use monetary metals to preserve wealth
