The end of the U.S. dollar gold standard in 1971 had unexpected, far-reaching consequences for the United States and its adversaries, ones that are central to today’s economic and geopolitical realities. What happened?
Jeffrey Tucker is the senior economics columnist at The Epoch Times and the founder and president of the Brownstone Institute.
"You're gutting your entire industrial base and turning yourself into a whole country of indebted and stupid consumers. And you’re not making anything anymore. This is a crazy system," said Tucker.
In this episode, we dive into what’s really going on with the U.S. economy. Are we in a recession? Are prices and unemployment rising or falling? What about domestic goods and imports? And what is the data really saying?
"You need to adjust this data by inflation, which is easy to say. But if you're going to do that, you need an accurate reading of inflation. And if you don't have that, you're going to end up with inaccurate data," said Tucker.
He claims that many financial indicators we use to measure economic growth are inaccurate.
"So now, we've got the highest rate of multiple job holders we've ever seen. Some people are holding two full-time jobs, which is extremely strange," he said.
