The year 1971 saw the trajectories of nearly every major trend relative to our way of life shift massively.
This week’s guest experts, Ben Prentice and Collin, founders of WTFHappenedIn1971.com, explain how virtually all of these changes are a direct or indirect result of the monetary system “breaking” that year with the Nixon Shock and the end of the Bretton Woods System.
1971: The Year That Changed Everything
by Adam TaggartThe year 1971 saw the trajectories of nearly every major trend relative to our way of life shift massively.
This week’s guest experts, Ben Prentice and Collin, founders of WTFHappenedIn1971.com, explain how virtually all of these changes are a direct or indirect result of the monetary system “breaking” that year with the Nixon Shock and the end of the Bretton Woods System.
Executive Summary
- Hard logic for hard assets
- The role of “control” and why it will be field the collapse of the system will be fought on
- Recent learnings from my own journey worth knowing
- Why I am certain things will get darker before they improve

I never thought that we’d be here. It could have all unfolded so differently if society had made better choices. It didn’t have to be this way.
But here we are.
My personal planning now revolves around these trends continuing:
- Money printing will continue and accelerate if they think it necessary
- SARS-CoV-2 will be poorly managed at the state level and even worse at the federal level
I’ve seen these trends coming. And I am not at all surprised by them.
But deep down I am very concerned that our national “managers” (not leaders) are very close to doubling down so forcefully on their current failed policies that the entire system breaks — badly. For those similarly concerned, I share the key preparations I think are most important for you to take right now.
Why is this restricted to Peak Prosperity’s premium subscribers? Two main reasons:
One — we reserve our best analysis and most directive guidance for the paying members whose financial support makes operating this site possible. Also, given that some of this material is our “best guess” thinking or can be overly revealing of the details of my personal actions, I’m only willing to share that with this private audience. I wouldn’t feel comfortable having that level of speculative/private information out in the public realm.
And Two — one of the many benefits of premium membership is closer access to the experts on this site.

This is an official Peak Prosperity ALERT. We don’t issue alerts very often — only when Chris or I are taking personal action in our own lives in response to recent developments.
The last alert we issued was on January 23 in response to the concerning pandemic threat we identified (quite early and accurately, I may add). You know what followed after that.
Well, today I took action in my own financial portfolio that I deem important enough to share with our premium subscribers.
Specifically, I’m beginning the process of reducing my cash reserves — which have comprised the majority of my portfolio — and exchanging it for inflation-resistant assets.
Why am I doing this now and what exactly am I exchanging this cash for?
