History doesn't repeat itself—but it often rhymes. In this eye-opening episode, Robert Kiyosaki and Matthew Seaman examine one of the most dangerous financial mistakes governments can make: printing money to solve economic problems. Using the Weimar Republic as a powerful historical case study, they reveal how excessive money printing led to hyperinflation, social unrest, and the collapse of an entire society.
You'll learn why currency debasement always follows the same pattern, how government spending spirals out of control, and why ordinary citizens pay the highest price when trust in money disappears. This conversation connects past financial disasters to modern economic policies, helping viewers understand the warning signs that many are ignoring today.
The episode also explores how real assets, financial education, and historical awareness can help individuals protect themselves during times of economic instability. If you've ever wondered whether today's economy is on a dangerous path—or how to prepare if history starts repeating itself—this discussion provides critical context and insight.
Understanding history may be the key to protecting your financial future.
