In an interview with Kerry Lutz, financial expert Dennis Tubbergen discussed the current state of the economy. Tubbergen believes that the economy is artificially inflated due to government spending and that without this spending, the US would be in a severe recession. He also suggested that the current economic situation is akin to a Ponzi scheme, with the government borrowing money to increase cash flow at the expense of future GDP. Tubbergen predicts a stagflationary environment, with a decline in the value of assets and increased inflation in consumer items. He recommends investing in precious metals and assets without counterparty risk that cannot be printed.

Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school’s library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and lifelong serial entrepreneur. In 2010, Kerry gave up most of his other interests to pursue his desire to become a radio show host and founded the Financial Survival Network, whose mission is to help you prosper and thrive in the New Economy.
