The era of U.S. dollar dominance may be coming to an end, and gold is set to benefit. In this Wealthion interview with Maggie Lake, Chris Whalen, Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, explains why markets are being driven by inflation, not real value, and why America’s growing deficits and debt pose a major risk to investors. Whalen discusses the Federal Reserve’s misplaced focus, the Treasury’s overwhelming power, and how a housing correction and rising long-term rates could trigger the next crisis. He outlines why gold must play a bigger role in portfolios, where treasuries and real estate still fit, and why volatility will create both danger and opportunity in the years ahead.
