The Collapse Is Here: The Final Stage for Fiat | Larry Lepard

Is America on the brink of a monetary collapse – and could sound money like gold and Bitcoin be our only way out? Veteran investor and sound money advocate Lawrence Lepard joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to discuss the collapse of the U.S. monetary system, as outlined in his new book, The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It.

Lepard warns that decades of monetary mismanagement, endless money printing, and artificially low interest rates have pushed the financial system to the edge. With U.S. debt now exceeding 120% of GDP, Lepard says a sovereign debt crisis is inevitable. “The government is trapped and has to keep printing money,” he tells Kitco.

Key Topics:

- Why the current monetary system causes wealth inequality
- How fiat money “steals from working people”
- Why he believes we’re deep into the Fourth Turning
- The mechanics of the coming “debt doom loop”
- Why Bitcoin is the “most asymmetric bet” he’s seen
- Why gold is signaling the failure of fiat
- His bold proposal to abolish the Fed and restore sound money
