This week, RLA Radio features an interview with investor and author Jim Rogers, where he talks with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, about his views on the global economy, suggesting that the current economic boom, fueled by massive borrowing and government spending worldwide, will not last forever. He expressed concern about the staggering amount of debt in the US and predicted that the next economic downturn will be the worst in his lifetime. Rogers also discussed the potential for a shift away from the US dollar as the dominant global reserve currency, the potential for a rise in gold and silver prices, and the future of cryptocurrencies.
Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros in 1973, helping to steer the fund to a 4200% return before “retiring” at age 37. He is considered to be one of the greatest investors of all time. Rogers has made two record-setting journeys – once by motorcycle and once by car – and is in the Guinness Book of World Records for doing so. In between his frequent travels, he has served as a professor at Columbia University, started his own commodity index and is a frequent media commentator worldwide. Rogers has also authored six books. He currently lives in Singapore with his family. Jim has authored a half dozen books, including: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers (NYTimes Bestseller), Adventure Capitalist, Hot Commodities (NYTimes Bestseller), A Bull in China, A Gift to My Children, and most recently, Street Smarts.
