In this video, Senior Fellow Mark Thornton discusses the economic implications of the historically high gold-silver ratio, suggesting it may signal an impending recession. He explains that central bank gold purchases are driving its price higher relative to silver, reflecting deeper market imbalances. Thornton emphasizes the importance of historical data and Austrian-School principles in forecasting and understanding crises. He warns that the U.S. national debt and current monetary policies could lead to hyperinflation and require drastic interest rate cuts. Lastly, he stresses the need for practical financial education, as government responses are failing to address core economic problems, leaving markets vulnerable to heightened volatility.
