Andrew Brill welcomes renowned economist Daniel Lacalle, PhD, to discuss the unsustainable trajectory of the U.S. and major global economies, which are already experiencing a private-sector “hidden recession”. Lacalle, Chief Economist at Tressis, unpacks how massive government spending and loose central bank policies are inflating short-term GDP growth while creating long-term risks, including persistent inflation, unmanageable public debt, and debasement and potential loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar, as reflected in the S&P 500 and the price of gold. He highlights the growing disparity between strong headline figures and the struggles faced by everyday citizens, as inflation disproportionately affects the lower and middle class and small businesses. Lacalle advocates for pro-growth private sector policies and warns that only by curbing debt and inflation can a sustainable economic future be secured.
