This interview with James Rickards, author of Currency Wars and the Death of Money is more pessimistic than my own view, but it seems clear we are headed toward a crisis. This really should not be a surprize as the US has had many crisises over the last 50 years –the gas shortages of the 70's, the interest rate crisis of the 80's, the internet bubble of the late 90's and of course 2008. we are due for another one.
