Three Bust Signals Are Flashing Red | Mark Thornton

Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, explains why soaring stock markets, persistent inflation, and a widening wealth gap point to growing risks beneath the surface. He discusses the AI investment boom, rising interest rates, the future of gold and silver, the Federal Reserve, and why he believes the current monetary system is reaching its limits.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
