Tom welcomes Macroeconomist Henrik Zeberg back to the show. Henrik discusses where we are in the winter season of the Kondratieff cycle and what comes next. He believes we are approaching the final deflationary phase, which will have severe consequences.

He says, "we can only stimulate for only so long, and the lockdowns will be one of the reasons why we will see this deflationary bust." Excessive debt results in a reduction in consumption, which will pressure growth. Central banks believe that they can stimulate the business cycle and incentivize people to take on more debt. However, this will only end up exacerbating the problem. The real economy is not better.

The Fed has created a bubble in assets, but money velocity has continued to collapse. Commodities have declined since 2009 and have recovered somewhat, but he believes they will head down in a final bust as the dollar roars back, crushing growth globally.

Henrik believes big asset moves like Bitcoin and equities are being driven by the declining dollar and a spike in bond yields. Expect a liquidity crunch, margin calls, and sharp declines in gold, silver, and equities.

He argues that all these asset bubbles will burst and that bursting is always deflationary. Money velocity must pickup to get inflation, and we won't see that until after the next major panic. Commodities are not at their structural bottoms yet, and he provides some rather startling price targets.
