Is the global financial system more vulnerable today than it was before the 2008 financial crisis?
Economist and Zang International founder Lynette Zang joins Alex Richardson to examine the growing risks she sees across debt, leverage, derivatives, inflation, and the declining purchasing power of money.
Zang explains why she views 2008 as a major turning point in the monetary system and why she believes today’s level of financial leverage could make the conditions surrounding the last major crisis look small by comparison.
The conversation also moves beyond traditional markets into Bitcoin, stablecoins, digital money, the future of the U.S. dollar, gold, silver, and financial self-sovereignty.
They discuss:
- Why Zang believes financial leverage is greater today than in 2008
- Inflation, declining purchasing power, and hyperinflation risks
- Bitcoin’s potential role in a changing monetary system
- Stablecoins and the shift toward digital money
- The future of the U.S. dollar and the global reserve currency system
- Why Zang continues to view gold and silver as sound money
- Lessons from Black Monday and the 2008 financial crisis
- Self-sovereignty, food security, and community preparedness
Could the next financial crisis look very different from 2008?
