Wall St. For Main St., Released on 7/31/24

During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks Jim about past currency problems in Japan and the Asian Tiger currency crisis of the 1980s and 1990s and if the weak Japanese Yen and other Asian currencies are driving a big spike in retail gold demand in Asia? Jim talks a lot about financial history and how politicians and bureaucrats love side deals and to sneak bailouts for their friends into government legislation. A currency crisis for many countries in the future is likely as many governments and central banks create currency out of thin air to buy government bonds or do bailouts for special interest groups or large corporations. Jim talks about why deflation for a long period of time is unlikely as politicians, bureaucrats and central bankers favor inflation over deflation.
