Lacalle argues that persistent inflation, rising government debt, and what he calls a coming “monetary tsunami” are eroding the purchasing power of salaries, cash, and deposit savings. He explains why long-term bonds may no longer act as the safe haven investors expect, why real assets are rising as currencies lose value, and why stocks could continue to melt up even as the real economy feels weaker. From sovereign debt risk and higher yields to gold, silver, copper, coal, China, Europe, and the future of American exceptionalism, Lacalle lays out why investors may need to rethink how they protect wealth in a world of fiscal excess and currency debasement. 💡Join Wealthion’s Real Assets Community for exclusive real-assets research and interviews: https://bit.ly/4wIBO8Q Chapters: 00:00 Why Investors Are Mispricing Risk 00:58 Bonds May No Longer Protect Portfolios 02:56 The “Monetary Tsunami” Ahead 05:49 Are We Facing…
