Finnish economist Tuomas Malinen explains the nature and severity of the historic global financial crash underway. He foresees worst-case scenarios which can even include "widespread hunger and rationing in the western world for the first time since the 19th century." As the Eurozone risks disintegration and China fakes its recovery, he worries about the real possibility of global hyperinflation and monetary destruction. The greatest risk is "Global Financial Socialism" brought about by central banks and supranational organizations (e.g. IMF, World Bank, UN) which could bring about a fascist and totalitarian "global economic dystopia". This "financial takeover" or "endgame of the global elite" would include a surveillance state, digital currencies, the end of commercial banks, and the end of cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prWLWZN7_rM

Alasdair Macleod explains why he thinks the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies have already entered into the stage of hyperinflation and that central banks have reached the end of the road. He doesn't believe Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will gain traction and thinks the dollar is toast. He gives his take on the geopolitical US-China dynamic, including potential for military conflict, and tells why gold is a great hedge in this situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5azrsTL2Rxw
