Manage episode 289825611 series 2294384
50 years ago President Nixon took the USA off the last remaining connection to the Gold Standard. Since then a lot has changed, but one constant has been inflation. Jason Hartman starts off the episode looking at what Nixon did that really staved off massive inflation.
Then Jason talks with The Rebel Capitalist George Gammon about the newest Operation Twist. This is a program run previously that aims to manipulate yields.
