Russia Ramps up Weaponising GOLD. Feat. Alasdair Macleod

In this week’s Live from the Vault, the renowned financial expert, Alasdair Macleod sits down with Andrew Maguire to investigate Russia’s plans to devise a gold and commodity-based replacement for dollars as a new trade settlement currency.

The famed economist prognosticates the return of sound money as the ingredient for a new, Asia-wide industrial revolution, while the western financial system continues to decay in line with the accelerating debasement of fiat currencies.
