## Resource

Part 2 of 2: Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with economist, monetary historian, and precious metals expert Alasdair Macleod to discuss what he believes could be the biggest threats facing the global financial system. Macleod explains why he believes the world is approaching a critical turning point for fiat currencies, how years of debt accumulation and monetary expansion have weakened confidence in the global monetary system, and why the next few years could bring significant economic and social disruption. The conversation also explores the implications of a potential Fort Knox audit, why China and Russia may be in a stronger position than many investors realize, the outlook for gold and silver, central bank gold accumulation, and the future of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Alasdair warns that if confidence in government finances and fiat currencies continues to deteriorate, the consequences could extend far beyond financial markets, impacting living standards, food security, and geopolitical stability.
