2021-11-28 EXPERT INTERVIEW – JEFFREY TUCKER

Are we headed for a “crack-up-boom” as originally described by Austrian economist Mises in the 1920s, or can we avoid it?  You’ll not want to miss this week’s Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio show when your host, Dennis Tubbergen talks with guest Mr. Jeffrey Tucker.  Tucker says, “whether we will or not” is the bigger question. Just like economists in Weimar Germany thought they were smarter, today’s economists appear to have forgotten the lessons about the relationship between quantitative measures of money and prices.

Jeffrey A. Tucker is the Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute and the author of many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press and ten books in 5 languages, most recently Liberty or Lockdown. He is also the editor of The Best of Mises. He speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture. https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Lockdown-Jeffrey-Tucker/dp/1630692123.

2021-11-21 EXPERT INTERVIEW – DR. A. GARY SHILLING

There’s a great deal of anticipatory borrowing and inventory building that’s going on driven by this mortal fear of not having enough stuff for Christmas. Retailers have been encouraging people to buy ahead, and saw we just had reports from Walmart and Target that their inventories have really leaped. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is Dr. A. Gary Shilling, who tells your host Dennis Tubbergen, that he believes that inflation is transitory and will subside leaving retailers in the position of having to ultimately discount prices to unload the excess inventory.  Listen in to get Dr. Shilling’s forecast for the markets and our economy.

Dr. A. Gary Shilling is an American financial analyst and commentator who appears on a regular basis in publications such as Forbes magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.  He is also the author of the monthly newsletter INSIGHT, and the book “The Age of Deleveraging”.

2021-11-07 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

The reality is, that Congress has spent the last two years violating every legitimate rule of reason to monetary and fiscal policy.

Woodrow Wilson is regarded by many as being the worst President in US history, although some would say that the current occupant of the White House is giving him a run for his money.

Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is Lawrence Reed.
