Description
Brett Rentmeester, founder and managing director of Windrock Wealth Management, returns to Palisades Gold Radio to outline why the global economy is entering a historic cycle change. Drawing on the framework of The Fourth Turning, Rentmeester explains that the tailwinds which powered the 60/40 portfolio for four decades—falling inflation, declining interest rates, and expanding equity multiples—have now reversed into headwinds. With U.S. debt at $40 trillion and interest expense consuming 28% of all tax dollars, he warns of a "death by a thousand cuts" rather than an outright default, and argues that a fiat currency crisis is the inevitable path ahead.
