With the removal of the gold standard in 1971, the financial ecosystem lost its apex predator. As a result, the deer (politicos and the financial industry) have thrived, while the landscape (everybody else) have suffered. But the wolves are returning to a world that has forgotten them. So argues Grant Williams, editor of Things That Make You Go Hmmm in this episode of The Gold Podcast. Also in this episode, Boaz Shoshan and Grant discuss the slow march of authoritarianism, the future of the dollar as a global reserve currency and who would win in a fistfight – Jerome Powell or Mark Carney?
