He suggests that if we had stayed on a gold standard, the price action of major financial elements would look completely different. For instance, the S&P 500, when valued in gold, has remained unchanged since 1971, indicating no real profits over the last 50 years. Rubino also discusses the potential for a 'blow off stage' for fiat currencies, leading to a collapse in faith in these currencies and a rush towards real assets like gold. He concludes by discussing the Fed's decision to cut interest rates despite signs of an overheating economy, suggesting that this could lead to a return to high inflation and economic instability. John Rubino is founder of the financial website DollarCollapse.com. He is the co-author, with Gold Money’s James Turk, of The Money Bubble, and The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It, and author of Clean Money: Picking Winners in the Green-Tech Boom.
