James Rickards interviewed by James Turk
James Rickards is talking candidly with James Turk of GoldMoney.com, about economic issues around the world, especially the Euro countries, the US and China. A common thread throughout the interview is the impact on the value and uses of gold. He also speculates freely about what various outcomes might look like as politicians wrestle with ways to create a needed solution and still be reelected. The interview took place during August 2011 and is still relevant.
Author of "When Money Dies" Interviewed by James Turk
Adam Fergusson is interviewed by James Turk of GoldMoney.com. The focus is on Fergusson's understanding of inflation, and then hyperinflation, as researcher and historian of the Weimar Republic or 1920's Germany experience.
