2026-08-17 The Coming Currency Reset: John Rubino on Debt, Inflation & Gold
Is a U.S. dollar crisis or monetary reset approaching? Dennis Tubbergen talks with author and financial commentator John Rubino about the $40 trillion U.S. national debt, inflation, Federal Reserve monetary policy, rising interest rates and the growing risk of a global currency crisis. Rubino explains what a monetary reset could look like, why governments may attempt to inflate away their debt, and how a potential hyperinflationary environment could affect retirement savings, Social Security, Medicare, stocks and bonds. The conversation also explores the outlook for gold and silver prices, precious metals, commodities, copper and gold and silver mining stocks—and why investors concerned about protecting purchasing power should understand the consequences of government debt and currency devaluation. John Rubino is founder of the financial website DollarCollapse.com. He is the co-author, with Gold Money’s James Turk, of The Money Bubble, and The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It, and author of Clean Money: Picking Winners in the Green-Tech Boom. After earning a Finance MBA from New York University, he spent the 1980s on Wall Street, as a money market trader, equity analyst, and junk bond analyst. During the 1990s he was a featured columnist with TheStreet.com and a frequent contributor to Individual Investor, Online Investor, and Consumers Digest, and his own column on Substack.com.
