2025-05-18 - The Greater Depression Is Coming": Doug Casey's Alarming Economic Forecast 43:18

43:18

The Greater Depression Is Coming": Doug Casey's Alarming Economic Forecast In a gripping conversation with host Dennis Tubbergen, investment maverick Doug Casey delivers a stark warning from Buenos Aires: America stands on the precipice of what he calls "the greater depression" - potentially more devastating than the crash of 1929. Speaking from Argentina, Casey doesn't mince words about our economic bifurcation, where the wealthy accumulate unprecedented wealth while average citizens struggle under the twin forces of currency inflation and regulatory strangulation. "We're on the razor's edge," Casey cautions, predicting interest rates could skyrocket back to 1980s levels (near 20%), devastating bubble-inflated stocks, bonds, and real estate markets while potentially collapsing a banking system built on these shaky foundations. Despite initial optimism about Trump's victory and promises of tax cuts and deregulation, Casey believes we're "approaching noon" rather than experiencing "morning in America," with time running out for meaningful reform of a government that has "grown like a cancer." For protection, he advocates physical gold ("the only financial asset that's not simultaneously somebody else's liability"), silver, and surprisingly, Bitcoin, while warning listeners not to trust FDIC insurance - "just a sticker principle" with insufficient reserves to handle a systemic crisis in what he describes as an economy floating on "a sea of debt" and a dollar that is merely “the IOU of a bankrupt government.” Best-selling author, world-renowned speculator, and libertarian philosopher Doug Casey has garnered a well-earned reputation for his erudite (and often controversial) insights into politics, economics, and investment markets. Doug wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil; his book “Crisis Investing” spent weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and TV shows, including David Letterman, Merv Griffin, Charlie Rose, Phil Donahue, Regis Philbin, Maury Povich, NBC News, and CNN; has been the topic of numerous features in periodicals such as Time, Forbes, People, and the Washington Post; and is a regular keynote speaker at FreedomFest, the world’s largest gathering of free minds.

In a riveting RLA Radio episode, host Dennis Tubbergen and financial analyst Karl Denninger deliver a sobering assessment of America's economic future, challenging conventional wisdom on tariffs by framing them as economic equalizers that could revitalize domestic manufacturing while warning of a demographic cliff similar to Japan's—with plummeting birthrates and an aging population threatening both economic growth and asset values—and offering an unsparing critique of America's healthcare system as a bloated industry prioritizing profit over patient care; Denninger acknowledges potential reforms under RFK Jr.'s HHS leadership while cautioning investors that demographic headwinds could significantly devalue retirement assets regardless of policy interventions. Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, author, and political activist, sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement. Mr. Denninger is the author of the book Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World.

Dennis Tubbergen hosts Charles Hugh Smith, a renowned writer and economic analyst, on RLA Radio. Smith shares his journey from working in construction to becoming a prominent voice on economic issues through his blog and Substack following. The discussion centers on economic headwinds, including geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, the unpredictability of global trade, and the American consumer's debt burden. Smith highlights the impact of demographics on economic growth, noting that changing patterns in household formation and spending could affect risk assets like stocks and real estate. He also discusses the reverse wealth effect, where declining asset values lead to reduced consumer spending, particularly among the top 10% of wealth holders. Smith questions whether the Federal Reserve can effectively counteract potential deflationary trends without triggering inflation, given the end of deflationary forces from China and the constraints of high national debt. The conversation concludes with Smith's cautious outlook on the U.S. economy, suggesting that painful adjustments may be necessary in the decade ahead. Charles Hugh Smith is the author of the oftwominds.com blog, #7 in CNBC's top alternative financial sites, and 18 books on our economy and society, including "A Radically Beneficial World: Automation, Technology and Creating Jobs for All," "Global Crisis, National Renewal: A (Revolutionary) Grand Strategy for the United States," "Burnout: Reckoning and Renewal" and "Self-Reliance in the 21st Century."
