In any case, the exchange rate for the USD vs other currencies did drop then for a period of time.

It will be anything but serene. 2025 is the year that normal folks begin to realize "the game is up" It's math. It's interest rates, the amount to be refinanced, the manufacturing realities, commodity markets, OH! It will be big. I'm confident the population of Britain will pull together, "stiff upper lip" and all that ... But someone better translate that into Pashtun, Arabic, and all the other languages for those kind and law-abiding new arrivals. Buckle up, Susan. Wishing you the best.
I've listened to so many of Alistair Macleod's videos I think I could write the script for his next one in my sleep. Eventually his warnings will ultimately unfold of that I have no doubt, I'm just not sure I will be alive when it happens which is probably a blessing.
Splendid show. Capital!!! Alasdair is brilliant. He makes complete sense. He is entertaining and clever. The most perfect guest. Bring him on after Trump assumes his dictatorship please. I await Trump's 1000 year empire.
The economics of globalisation has always had an Achilles’ heel. The 1920s roared with debt based consumption and speculation until it all tipped over into the debt deflation of the Great Depression. No one realised the problems that were building up in the economy as they used an economics that doesn’t look at debt, neoclassical economics. Not considering private debt is the Achilles' heel of neoclassical economics. Black swans take the private debt flight path to come in undetected. ruclips.net/video/vAStZJCKmbU/видео.html At 18 mins. 1929 and 2008 stick out like sore thumbs. In 2008, the Queen visited the revered economists of the LSE and said "If these things were so large, how come everyone missed it?" It’s that neoclassical economics they use Ma’am, it doesn’t consider private debt. Not considering private debt is the Achilles' heel of neoclassical economics. 1) We didn’t see the problems developing in private debt 2) We didn’t know the problem was caused by private debt 3) We used monetary policy to cure a private debt problem with more private debt There is no way out this way. We didn’t fix anything after 2008, and dropped interest rates to the floor so we could carry on as before. We carried on making the same mistakes, borrowing money from banks and using it to purchase assets and push up asset prices. The markets are going up everything must be fine. Wait a minute ...... We’ve blown up an everything bubble. “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein. Solving a private debt problem with an economics that doesn’t consider private debt was never going to be easy.
Confused on how he differentiates legal money vs non-legal money. The Greek word for money itself “Nomisma” means established by law. The gold, silver, or( in Spartas case iron) didn’t become “money” until the state minted the rulers emblem on it.
Interesting as always. It's refreshing that Alasdair, whose economic wisdom is so good, also knows his geopolitics and is so humanely concerned to help us to understand too. A nice young interviewer - but I'm always a little irritated when Englishmen can't seem to pronounce "th". Using "v" instead sounds childish.
I really enjoyed this talk. It is certainly pity that it was one-sided interview. I think that people would be very interested to learn his stance on Bitcoin and the blockchain revolution it is happening in front of our eyes. Really pity!.
When a person gets into debt beyond the point that they can ever pay it back....they ignore it and hussle to survive. Only responsible people control debt accumulation. This is collapse of society.
There is currently a multitude of converging crises. The automobile industry being an obvious example but colossal accumulated bad loans are threatening the banking system and various disastrous real estate investments (as in those in Ukraine) are yet to be written off. A colossal correction is overdue. One of the unintended consequences of the "Sanctions" is to trigger an agricultural crisis in North America. The ramifications of that are yet to be revealed but the average age of US farmers is a complicating factor. We can not see at this point which particular crisis will trigger a general crisis affecting every nation on the planet but at this point it seems inevitable. Steinbeck should become required reading in every US school
How does Turkey keep going with constant devaluations? Other countries similarly. It would be interesting to know how the government pulls it off and how the locals deal with the situation.
The Turkish lira is only 34.94 to one US dollar, the japanese yen is 152 to one US dollar. The issue with devaluing currency is how to save to protect value. On the other side a devalued currency makes exports more competitive in the international market.
24:57 no. It will cost more dollars, pounds, euros or whatever to buy a car. The fact that the dollar may be stronger relative to the pound is neither here or there if they have both lost purchasing power
Great to see an intelligent interview on this subject. Good analysis but with a few wobby areas. Gold itself is part of the credit system, trading is electronic just like currency. No one is going to go back to using gold for day to day purchases. I would like to read more of Alistair opinions as its possible I have not understood fully. A solution would be welcome.
The Keynesian theoretical model was not based on an abnormal economy with 3 to 7% budget deficit and a 130% national debt to GDP level !! REMEMBER THAT FACT!!! 😊
Major league depressing. Yet I can't believe a little thing like 'money' is gonna' frustrate Trump's reforms, particularly given his experience with bankers. Their problem.
Yields on USTs and UK Gilts have risen across the duration by 300 BPS this week despite CB cuts; and similarly the Yield Curves have been un-inverted these past 2 months. The end game is near? (Poor stupid Keynesians!).
Hey Sherlock, you think you're the only 1 who knows that none of the debt will ever be paid back. Everyone knows it, but is willing to play while the Champaign keeps flowing. How many jumped ship before it hit the ICEBERG???
Have a Happy New Year 2025 since this is your last video for the year 2024. I have a thought for the new year, why do people, businesses, cities counties, states, countries barrow money? Why not just buy what you can save for? I sincerely am asking the what if question here. We love the shiny metals since 1984. Lance.
Borrow. They borrow for expansion. You have a small business that's growing. Your current premises don't allow more production to meet demand. What are you going to do? Turn around and tell the market place - sorry no goods, or are you going to go to the banksters and borrow funds for a bigger premises? It's not rocket science.
And inflation is the 'secret tax'. Inflation is the same thing as loss of purchasing power. You cannot buy as much with your money because it is devalued by inflation and can't keep up with the price rises.
Alistair says that Russia will protect itself from collapsing fiat currencies by going to the gold standard. The young interviewer comments that he does not believe that Russia would ever go to the gold standard, as this would be a "nuclear option", and Russia does not "want to poke Trump". I think this demonstrates the naivety and lack of depth of the modern young generation: he could not imagine or think that dollar could collapse. Yet Alistair says that there could be a slow (or not so slow) deterioration of the western currencies, and this is what will motivate Russians to move on to gold standard. And this is about the time when the world of the young people as they know it will collapse.
Saying Russia is better off than The West ..tells you everything you need to know about the political Oligarchy of The West…we need new ideas and new leadership everywhere….the corruption and lies told to Western people is really disgusting..great conversation…
Pretty clear and undisputable big picture. Then there is the infighting between the sinking powers, I assume all about the next power structure. Let's not waste too much time about that.
What if the predictions (of more than a few) come about regarding a “Digital Currency” - it seems to me that the only way such a currency would “escape the flaws” of a fiat currency is if it transformed the idea of a currency, namely, it becomes a Government sanctioned means of payment “with strings attached” - the users have to fulfil certain conditions - eg. only X mount allowed to be used to buy energy generated from fossil fuels in a given period - the perfect state of affairs for an extremely authoritarian regime to thrive - and - God forbid - another example (of a condition in order to use the “Digital currency”) - one has to be up-to-date with one’s Covid vaccinations/boosters !!!!!
Put Alasdair on the back foot for a minute there....well done ! Yes... your question regarding "can we extend and pretend indefinitely" wasnt really answered adequately. In theory we we could be decades away from a currency collapse.
I don’t understand.in all other podcasts Mister Mc Cloud is very positive about silver and suddenly silver is not money but only gold? These kind of experts constantly change their story.
Silver is for small exchanges where the gold chunk would get too small. It’s a support to gold for lower-value transactions. Not really that important in the grand scheme.
@ according to severely sources there is more gold then silver above ground, as Silver is used up and gold only stored away in vaults…see the paper to silver ratio its now 413.15:1 That is tripple to gold. Silver is thé most supressed asset on this planet according to Gregory Manarino and Jim Rogers.
@peterwait641 the money supply needs to expand roughly with the growth of the economy. There's a finite amount of gold and the easily accessable commercially viable reserves are gone.
All currencies were doomed from the start of "competetive trade". That goes back thousands of years, and has led most workers into poverty. While at the same time, every "surviving" trader got richer.
Fist currencies And Crypto currencies are Both Highly dependent upon Faith as with Religions, promising a better future which as yet has not come about 😥
Mining for shares of Mineral seeking adventures are what propels the Economy. The purchase of Treasury Notes that assure some value to the Fiat Currency of the USA, has been gone for over 20 years. Who is buying new issue T-Notes now? China and Japan the largest owners of US Long term trasury securities, seem to be unloading. Why buy new issue T-Notes when some items are about to mature and are currently for sale? How is the US Treasury ever going to catch up? The new Administration along with the GOP Congressional Majority have proven their lack of financial skills.
tariffs bring jobs to the country who uses them by allowing companies to compete on an equal footing. if you care about the wellbeing of your citizens they need to have good jobs. if you care about cheap labor you hate tariffs because they make you pay a fair wage to your employees.
Anyone buying Platinum ,took a loan from my pension and bought some just looking at charts and I thought it was cheap,I pay my fund from work at least 6% a year and it’s going nowhere
If you want an idea I find the man who knows the markets, as well as reality. The Robin Hood of Wall Street. You either take in what he says or not. I do.
About 8 years ago I made up a word to depict what QE/MMT happens to be and the word is: DANADIC. I sourced it from a painting (there are two renditions of it) by John Waterhouse called: 'Daughters of Danaus' When you look at Waterhouse's painting it will hit you straight away as to what DANADIC implys.
Nationalise the financial services industry,and insurance industry balance the budget. If Trump asked for the mandated approval to the alternative of a 3 trillion dollars budget over run and we end up with 15% bond cost as in 76. And a slide into the third world.
Not sure about this, high interest rates would be a gift for people that hold fiat money rather than equities, and we had interest rates in the past that achieved this, do this gentleman really think the nations of the world will go back to the gold standard, he doesn’t say so, so what is he saying will be the medium of exchange? I think it’s true the vast debts are an issue but we are not going back to gold old boy. A bit of economic history study needed here. 4 plus 4 does not equal 9
Some currencies were based on shells. Then currencies were based on gold. Next currencies will be based on bitcoin. Gold will have the value of shells for jewellery alone.

OH! It will be big.
I'm confident the population of Britain will pull together, "stiff upper lip" and all that ...
But someone better translate that into Pashtun, Arabic, and all the other languages for those kind and law-abiding new arrivals.
Buckle up, Susan. Wishing you the best.
I've listened to so many of Alistair Macleod's videos I think I could write the script for his next one in my sleep. Eventually his warnings will ultimately unfold of that I have no doubt, I'm just not sure I will be alive when it happens which is probably a blessing.
Long and happy life!🎉
Splendid show. Capital!!! Alasdair is brilliant. He makes complete sense. He is entertaining and clever. The most perfect guest. Bring him on after Trump assumes his dictatorship please. I await Trump's 1000 year empire.
Alistair HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉. Your a knockout on insight.
Brilliant guy with the red tie.
A wonderful lecture.
The economics of globalisation has always had an Achilles’ heel.
The 1920s roared with debt based consumption and speculation until it all tipped over into the debt deflation of the Great Depression. No one realised the problems that were building up in the economy as they used an economics that doesn’t look at debt, neoclassical economics.
Not considering private debt is the Achilles' heel of neoclassical economics.
Black swans take the private debt flight path to come in undetected.

1929 and 2008 stick out like sore thumbs.
In 2008, the Queen visited the revered economists of the LSE and said "If these things were so large, how come everyone missed it?"
It’s that neoclassical economics they use Ma’am, it doesn’t consider private debt.
Not considering private debt is the Achilles' heel of neoclassical economics.
1) We didn’t see the problems developing in private debt
2) We didn’t know the problem was caused by private debt
3) We used monetary policy to cure a private debt problem with more private debt
There is no way out this way.
We didn’t fix anything after 2008, and dropped interest rates to the floor so we could carry on as before.
We carried on making the same mistakes, borrowing money from banks and using it to purchase assets and push up asset prices.
The markets are going up everything must be fine.
Wait a minute ......
We’ve blown up an everything bubble.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein.
Solving a private debt problem with an economics that doesn’t consider private debt was never going to be easy.
Back onto the gold standard then. Thank God we are in Australia, dig baby dig. One thing that most Australians do understand is real estate.
Confused on how he differentiates legal money vs non-legal money. The Greek word for money itself “Nomisma” means established by law. The gold, silver, or( in Spartas case iron) didn’t become “money” until the state minted the rulers emblem on it.
Interesting as always. It's refreshing that Alasdair, whose economic wisdom is so good, also knows his geopolitics and is so humanely concerned to help us to understand too.
A nice young interviewer - but I'm always a little irritated when Englishmen can't seem to pronounce "th". Using "v" instead sounds childish.
Thank you🇨🇦
They'll kick the can down the road, till it's so heavy that it breaks their foot.
Excellent! Thank you. 👍👍👍
" For the last 13 years....'' Lands us just when 2008 Bail Out were secure....and Hedge Funds ......were gettng back to 0 , instead of " Negative "
I really enjoyed this talk. It is certainly pity that it was one-sided interview. I think that people would be very interested to learn his stance on Bitcoin and the blockchain revolution it is happening in front of our eyes. Really pity!.
East is doing dedollarization using gold....but west is doing dedollarization using crypto....😂😂
When a person gets into debt beyond the point that they can ever pay it back....they ignore it and hussle to survive. Only responsible people control debt accumulation. This is collapse of society.
yes, western woky, infantil, tic toc handy zombie society, where men have lost their ability to be just normal men.
There is currently a multitude of converging crises. The automobile industry being an obvious example but colossal accumulated bad loans are threatening the banking system and various disastrous real estate investments (as in those in Ukraine) are yet to be written off. A colossal correction is overdue. One of the unintended consequences of the "Sanctions" is to trigger an agricultural crisis in North America. The ramifications of that are yet to be revealed but the average age of US farmers is a complicating factor. We can not see at this point which particular crisis will trigger a general crisis affecting every nation on the planet but at this point it seems inevitable. Steinbeck should become required reading in every US school
This guy is right on about the debt and world is on steroids and will end badly.
More money more spending plus they just going to have interest on interest 😂
How does Turkey keep going with constant devaluations? Other countries similarly. It would be interesting to know how the government pulls it off and how the locals deal with the situation.
The Turkish lira is only 34.94 to one US dollar, the japanese yen is 152 to one US dollar. The issue with devaluing currency is how to save to protect value. On the other side a devalued currency makes exports more competitive in the international market.
@@seeker2118 But how much is 1 lb of Chicken , Hamburger....(?)
They come to Germany.
@@c.k.2 Considering deindustrialization and the rapid decline of German economic outlook, you should probably consider being nice to Turks.
These turks go to Europe to work for Euro's then go back with their money and live like kings in Turkey. Same with Poles.
making a war could be a way out of debt repayment
The polite frustration in MacLeod’s answers show just how clueless the interviewer is.
Doesn't Elon Musk get subsidies from the govt for SpaceX and Tesla? Maybe he could show an example by cutting that off? I think it's a great idea.
Subsidies bears translation
Elon is funded by the US government, thats why he was succesfull and still is.
24:57 no. It will cost more dollars, pounds, euros or whatever to buy a car. The fact that the dollar may be stronger relative to the pound is neither here or there if they have both lost purchasing power
Great to see an intelligent interview on this subject. Good analysis but with a few wobby areas. Gold itself is part of the credit system, trading is electronic just like currency. No one is going to go back to using gold for day to day purchases. I would like to read more of Alistair opinions as its possible I have not understood fully. A solution would be welcome.
Physical Gold is a store of value with no counter party risk. It's not necessarily used as currency. Only paper gold is part of credit system.
The Keynesian theoretical model was not based on an abnormal economy with 3 to 7% budget deficit and a 130% national debt to GDP level !! REMEMBER THAT FACT!!! 😊
Major league depressing.
Yet I can't believe a little thing like 'money' is gonna' frustrate Trump's reforms, particularly given his experience with bankers. Their problem.
Yields on USTs and UK Gilts have risen across the duration by 300 BPS this week despite CB cuts; and similarly the Yield Curves have been un-inverted these past 2 months. The end game is near? (Poor stupid Keynesians!).
Hey Sherlock, you think you're the only 1 who knows that none of the debt will ever be paid back. Everyone knows it, but is willing to play while the Champaign keeps flowing. How many jumped ship before it hit the ICEBERG???
Very close to the end could mean another decade or three !
I was surprised bullion banks were declined.
Actually gold stop becoming money since. 1933 not 71
"The money system will change. I tell you this."

YUP..."give it up as a hopeless job" Alasdair knows the pain of the gov't sector!!
Couldn't wait for commercial real estate market tank and big banks get on the hook.
Well. It's going out with a bang. Silver getting tuned BIT TIME this week.
So he has refrained from laying out the argument why QE cannot be done for a very long time?
Have a Happy New Year 2025 since this is your last video for the year 2024. I have a thought for the new year, why do people, businesses, cities counties, states, countries barrow money? Why not just buy what you can save for? I sincerely am asking the what if question here. We love the shiny metals since 1984. Lance.
Borrow. They borrow for expansion. You have a small business that's growing. Your current premises don't allow more production to meet demand. What are you going to do? Turn around and tell the market place - sorry no goods, or are you going to go to the banksters and borrow funds for a bigger premises? It's not rocket science.
POEPLE ARE GETTING POORER BECAUSE OF THE DAMN TAXES!
And inflation is the 'secret tax'. Inflation is the same thing as loss of purchasing power. You cannot buy as much with your money because it is devalued by inflation and can't keep up with the price rises.
Alistair says that Russia will protect itself from collapsing fiat currencies by going to the gold standard. The young interviewer comments that he does not believe that Russia would ever go to the gold standard, as this would be a "nuclear option", and Russia does not "want to poke Trump". I think this demonstrates the naivety and lack of depth of the modern young generation: he could not imagine or think that dollar could collapse. Yet Alistair says that there could be a slow (or not so slow) deterioration of the western currencies, and this is what will motivate Russians to move on to gold standard. And this is about the time when the world of the young people as they know it will collapse.
I assume the trade payment system will be via xrp but backed by gold, as the trust has gone.
Saying Russia is better off than The West ..tells you everything you need to know about the political Oligarchy of The West…we need new ideas and new leadership everywhere….the corruption and lies told to Western people is really disgusting..great conversation…
Buying gold at higher prices means using more US dollars which is great for the US economy .
Currency down as copper coins are now plated steel .
If they don't get rid of Powell, the Repubs can blame it all on him.
I read that Trump will keep Powell. Maybe to save his reputation?
If the environment was an economy then were well over the cliff .
These are libertarians, they don't believe in pollution 😂
Welcome to Barter World.
Pretty clear and undisputable big picture. Then there is the infighting between the sinking powers, I assume all about the next power structure. Let's not waste too much time about that.
What if the predictions (of more than a few) come about regarding a “Digital Currency” - it seems to me that the only way such a currency would “escape the flaws” of a fiat currency is if it transformed the idea of a currency, namely, it becomes a Government sanctioned means of payment “with strings attached” - the users have to fulfil certain conditions - eg. only X mount allowed to be used to buy energy generated from fossil fuels in a given period - the perfect state of affairs for an extremely authoritarian regime to thrive - and - God forbid - another example (of a condition in order to use the “Digital currency”) - one has to be up-to-date with one’s Covid vaccinations/boosters !!!!!
Poor Essex-boy just don't get it🤣🤣
Put Alasdair on the back foot for a minute there....well done ! Yes... your question regarding "can we extend and pretend indefinitely" wasnt really answered adequately. In theory we we could be decades away from a currency collapse.
I don’t understand.in all other podcasts
Mister Mc Cloud is very positive about silver and suddenly silver is not money but only gold? These kind of experts
constantly change their story.
Silver is for small exchanges where the gold chunk would get too small. It’s a support to gold for lower-value transactions. Not really that important in the grand scheme.
@ according to severely sources there is more gold then silver above ground, as Silver is used up and gold only stored away in vaults…see the paper to silver ratio its now 413.15:1
That is tripple to gold. Silver is thé most supressed asset on this planet according to Gregory Manarino and Jim Rogers.
"wohwd"? "World." "goad" and "gold" are two different words.
No country will go away from fiat. there's not enough gold commercially viable gold deposits, and a gold standards is really unstable.
Gold would just be revalued to suitable price.
@peterwait641 the money supply needs to expand roughly with the growth of the economy. There's a finite amount of gold and the easily accessable commercially viable reserves are gone.
All currencies were doomed from the start of "competetive trade". That goes back thousands of years, and has led most workers into poverty. While at the same time, every "surviving" trader got richer.
Fist currencies And Crypto currencies are Both Highly dependent upon Faith as with Religions, promising a better future which as yet has not come about 😥
Correct!. Crypto, Gold, Fiat everything depends on Faith!. We just select the one which needs less faith and more future-realism.
again? like 2022 ,2020 ,2018 2016 .......?
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 exactly

Mining for shares of Mineral seeking adventures are what propels the Economy.
The purchase of Treasury Notes that assure some value to the Fiat Currency of the USA,
has been gone for over 20 years.
Who is buying new issue T-Notes now?
China and Japan the largest owners of US Long term trasury securities,
seem to be unloading.
Why buy new issue T-Notes when some items are about to mature and are currently for sale?
How is the US Treasury ever going to catch up?
The new Administration along with the GOP Congressional Majority have proven their lack of financial skills.
tariffs bring jobs to the country who uses them by allowing companies to compete on an equal footing. if you care about the wellbeing of your citizens they need to have good jobs. if you care about cheap labor you hate tariffs because they make you pay a fair wage to your employees.
Anyone buying Platinum ,took a loan from my pension and bought some just looking at charts and I thought it was cheap,I pay my fund from work at least 6% a year and it’s going nowhere
If you want an idea I find the man who knows the markets, as well as reality. The Robin Hood of Wall Street. You either take in what he says or not. I do.

If the Russian economy is doing so well, why is the Russian ruble now below one US penny?
About 8 years ago I made up a word to depict what QE/MMT happens to be and the word is:
DANADIC.
I sourced it from a painting (there are two renditions of it) by John Waterhouse called:
'Daughters of Danaus'
When you look at Waterhouse's painting it will hit you straight away as to what DANADIC implys.
It may all be right, but hardly independent speaker perspective!
You contradict yourself. On one side you say Trump will wreck the economy and on the other hand you say the establishment will not allow him.
no interest in mining stocks...OR..are they being..naked shorted....I tried to lend my mining shares, but not 1 in 50 + ..got " borrowed
Ruski is dropping basic rate to 6% for young married couples.
The money supply needs to be returned to democratic control.
Alasdair. I'm thinking 2026 will be ugly with some turbulence in 2025 as a warning ⚠️ 😮
YAWWWNNNNNNN....
Crypto is where we are headed ...
Gold on earth is limited hard and costly to exract
Currency is unlimited you only need paper and printing machine
Govt can b@n use of gold bitcoin etc
Nationalise the financial services industry,and insurance industry balance the budget. If Trump asked for the mandated approval to the alternative of a 3 trillion dollars budget over run and we end up with 15% bond cost as in 76. And a slide into the third world.
Not sure about this, high interest rates would be a gift for people that hold fiat money rather than equities, and we had interest rates in the past that achieved this, do this gentleman really think the nations of the world will go back to the gold standard, he doesn’t say so, so what is he saying will be the medium of exchange? I think it’s true the vast debts are an issue but we are not going back to gold old boy. A bit of economic history study needed here. 4 plus 4 does not equal 9
Some currencies were based on shells. Then currencies were based on gold. Next currencies will be based on bitcoin. Gold will have the value of shells for jewellery alone.
