”Alasdair Macleod is is an educator and advocates for sound money through demystifying finance and economics. His background includes being a stockbroker, banker, and economist.
”Alasdair Macleod started his career as a stockbroker in 1970 on the London Stock Exchange. Within nine years, he had risen to become senior partner of his firm.
”Subsequently, he held positions at the director level in investment management and worked as a mutual fund manager. Mr. Macleod also worked at a bank in Guernsey as an executive director.
”For most of his 40 years in the finance industry, he has been demystifying macroeconomic events for his investing clients. The accumulation of this experience has convinced him that unsound monetary policies are the most destructive weapon governments use against the common man. Accordingly, his mission is to educate and inform the public in layman's terms what governments do with money and how to protect themselves from the consequences.”
There's no way that Alasdair can make the situation more clear. Even if those in power do know the threat, their hands are tied by political realities. I wish it were not so. I think there is a chance that President Trump, if he understood and threat and was willing to do something about it, would have a chance of getting the nation behind him to slash spending in order to save the dollar and the future of America. But...I don't think he understands economics at all.
