Mike Maloney, monetary historian and founder of GoldSilver.com, has just released two new chapters of his excellent Hidden Secrets Of Money video series.
In producing the series, Maloney has reviewed several thousand years of monetary history and has observed that government intervention and mismanagement — such as is now rampant across the world — has always resulted in the diminishment and eventual failure of currency systems.
As for the world’s current fiat currency regimes, Mike sees a reckoning approaching. One that will be preceded by massive losses rippling across nearly all asset classes, destroying the phantom wealth created during the latest central bank-induced Everything Bubble, and grinding the global economy to a halt.

In past eras of human civilization, the wisdom of respected "elders" guided much of the decison-making in society.
But today, when youth is revered and age is equated with obsolesence and irrelevance, that role and its sage counsel have been lost.
It's not that we as a culture don't have desperate need for such wisdom. We do. Perhaps more than ever given the intractable and unsustainable issues we face — an over-indebted world economy, resource depletion, species loss, eroding civil liberties, etc.
In this week's podcast, Stephen Jenkinson, author of the new book, Come of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble, returns to explain how the role of elder might be re-instated. It won't be easy, but it may just be one of the essential ingredients we need to make it through the challenge times ahead.

Lance Roberts sees trouble ahead.
As chief investment strategist of Clarity Financial and chief editor of Real Investment Advice, Lance issues commentary weekly on the financial markets. He sees a major market correction/crash dead ahead, likely in early 2019 as the US economy offically slides back into recession — though he's open to it happening sooner than that.
Based on the huge debt/decifit excess that have built up in the economy, paired with the tremendous overvaluations in asset prices seen in today's markets, Lance expects economic growth to remain anemic (at best) for the coming decade:

Executive Summary

The Wealthy Are Plotting To Leave Us Behind
In the absence of an official plan, you'd better have your own — something the extremely wealthy are already working on for themselves.
As the co-founders of Peak Prosperity, Adam and I happen to know and/or interact with quite a few wealthy people who are deeply concerned about the future and taking steps to assure their survival in it. These people have access to the very best information; they know the system better than your average citizen. They know what the weak points are and what could go wrong.
From our observations, it’s safe to say that the more insider-experience an individual has, the greater their concern.
The least-concerned people are those without much knowledge of the system (i.e., most "regular" folks). Or a weak sense of curiosity. Or, most damagingly, a propensity to get their news from the mainstream media. Let’s just say that the information available to the “retail crowd” is either incomplete or misleading (and quite often intentionally so).
What I mean to say more directly is: if you're not already a billionaire and getting access to the very best and most accurate information, you’d do well to….

Real estate offers a path to build equity and income outside of the Wall Street casino, in ways that take advantages of tax incentives not available to stock and bond holders. It can also offer purchasing power protection during periods of currency devaluation.
But, education and timing are very important in this space. How can the novice investor get involved while reducing their risk of making costly mistakes? Real estate markets can enter price bubble territory (as many are in now) — how can you determine when it's safe or too risky to invest?
We've invited Robert Helms and Russ Gray, better known as The Real Estate Guys, onto the podcast this week to provide a "Real Estate Investing 101" overview for the Peak Prosperity audience. In it, they cover the different ways to invest, how to identify which approach is best for you given your personal goals and risk appetite, and how to get started educating yourself towards becoming an active investor.

Executive Summary
- The power of narrative
- Data vs Beliefs
- Best practices for engaging reluctant audiences
- Common pitfalls to be wary of
If you have not yet read Part 1: The End of Growth available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
Talking to people about the ways in which we are killing off life on Earth is not easy.
Better people than I have thrown themselves at it and failed. James Hanson recently got to reflect on his 30-year attempt to use data to persuade governments and the public that climate change is real and dangerous. Looking back, Hansen now says that he regrets not being “able to make this story clear enough for the public.”
I think his shortcoming had nothing to do with making the case clearly enough, but instead was rooted in not appreciating how people don’t change their behavior based on data. We change our actions after our beliefs change.
As Mahatma Gandhi famously said:
(Source)
If we want a different destiny, either individually or collectively, then we have to shift the beliefs. That’s where it all starts.
In our seminars we often call this part “How to talk to a reluctant partner” but you could just as easily swap out “partner” with colleague, friend, neighbor, or family.
The main difficulty in communicating is that many people mistakenly believe…
