Too Late to Prevent Hyperinflation Of The US Dollar? | Mark Thornton

Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute discusses the U.S. economy’s dangerous progression toward hyperinflation. Thornton explains Ludwig von Mises’ three stages of inflation, stressing how massive debt and unchecked money creation erode trust in currency and push people into real assets like real estate, gold, silver, and even cryptocurrencies. He highlights how rising costs are impoverishing households, while central banks and major investors are quietly dumping dollars and Treasuries in favor of gold, signaling deep cracks in the global monetary system. The discussion also covers the falling gold–silver ratio, state-level moves to restore gold and silver as legal tender, and tools like Glint Pay that allow individuals to transact in sound money today. Thornton warns that black swan events or even threats of state secession may force political action, but emphasizes that individuals must take responsibility now to protect themselves from monetary chaos.
