Inferior economic thinkers have dominated American politics for the last 100 years. Short-cuts, cheap debt, and market manipulating policies will collapse the US monetary system. Almost all economists and politicians in power are Keynesian economists. They believe the free market is chaotic, illogical, and inefficient. They believe they are smarter than the market. They believe they can prevent the cycles of boom and bust. The founder of this type of economic thinking is John Maynard Keynes. He famously proclaimed “We will not have any more crashes in our time.” in 1927 (years before the Great Depression).

The result of these Keynesian policies is inflation. Inflation is a tool used to transfer wealth from producers to worthless bureaucrats and their pet projects. As the government becomes more desperate for cash, they will increase the flow of paper money (fiat currency) until the entire financial system becomes insoluble. As the American dollar weakens, foreign countries will sell their bonds and flood the market with devalued currency. You can expect inflation like the U.S. has never experienced. The cost of items will skyrocket and your wages will stay the same. Those in power will blame the free market and capitalism but the real cause of the fall will be their failed economic policies.

With fiat money there is almost a guarantee of hyperinflation given enough time. To defend yourself buy things with intrinsic value (e.g. food, shelter, gold, silver, land). Things with inherent worth will always be worth something. The same can’t be said for paper money.
