Wow. Amazing talk. I have always said that no one is ever going to pay any of this money back. The capital structure is going to have to be totaly rebooted one day, and that is fucking scary.

The problem is so few people understand it, and even fewer believe it.

@chaseef We are due for a reboot, but it happens every 40 years, there is nothing to be afraid of if you position yourself properly. You are right, few people understand it, do what you can to educate family and friends. I try to get the word out there as much as possible.

I agree, Rickards is a legend, I hope lots of people take the time to watch this in full.

It ended up being 8 parts in total btw :)

[breadboi2067]

One of the smartest guys in economics-- Buy Gold and silver to preserve your wealth

This is the clearest, most learned discourse on the state of the economy on youtube, and only 4,000 people have watched it. In the meantime, the latest bullshit gets a million views in a matter of minutes.

S&P's Fitch's and Moody's AAA rating of toxic assets that evidence now reveals they knew perfectly well were worthless garbage, has criminally and fraudulently 'engineered' sovereign debt . The question that needs to be asked repeatedly, is "Why are these criminals NOT serving prison sentences already?" We can listen to blah! blah! blah! till the cows come home! WHY ARE THEY NOT IN PRISON?...WHY? THEY HAVE COMITTED VERY SERIOUS CRIMES! WHY DOES AMERICA REWARD CRIME INSTEAD OF PUNISHING IT?

yes watch part two. Hey fellow chip eating, soft drink slurping couch potato watching football, guess what, you are a slave, you are broke, you are stupid and your kids will be in debt forever. GET A CLUE, WAKE UP and VOTE RON PAUL.

Jim Rickards is ahead of his time ... both physics and economics have velocity (of money), critical mass and half life too. If the money is debt then the half life is determined by interest rates because the interest payments are not in the loan principal.

This guy says "by the way" too much. His rambling doesn't seem to make himself look better. I know it's hard to articulate a lot of these things, especially in a short time frame. Still, focus is important -- he starts with one beginning point about the debt, and only comes back around to that at the end of the video. That goes to show how much rambling is going on. Coherency is good.
