Economist and strategist Simon Hunt lays out a bold, non-consensus vision of the years ahead, and it’s nothing short of a global reset. In this gripping interview with Maggie Lake, Simon reveals why the U.S. is already in recession, why inflation is far worse than reported, and how a geopolitical escalation with Iran could accelerate the collapse of Western economic dominance.
He explains how the BRICS nations are preparing a gold-backed system, why global supply chains are shifting, and why AI-powered factories in China are reshaping global economic power. Plus, he shares what investors must do now to prepare before the system breaks by 2028.
Key insights:
- Why U.S. CPI is really 9–10%, not 3%
- The debt spiral: new debt is being issued to pay old debt
- A coming geopolitical trigger from the Iran conflict
- Gold, the yuan, and the ruble as post-dollar safe havens
- Why you should hold physical gold, not ETFs
- A commodity cycle: sharp fall, then double by 2027
- The end of just-in-time and the rise of strategic stockpiling
- China’s AI-driven factory revolution and arms race
- What a “short boom before the big crash” really means
