Is the Fed Fueling America’s Economic Crisis? Peter St Onge

What if dismantling the Federal Reserve could eliminate inflation, prevent recessions, and revitalize the U.S. economy? Economist Peter St. Onge of the Heritage Foundation joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to present a daring vision for a world without the Fed. St. Onge argues that a return to a gold-backed currency is not only possible but essential for restoring financial stability, pointing to America’s 140-year history without a central bank as proof.

In this thought-provoking discussion, St. Onge explores the growing de-dollarization trend, the rise of Bitcoin as "digital gold," and the effects of Trump-era monetary policies on economic stability. With predictions for 2025, he addresses whether the U.S. is already in a recession and how alternative financial systems could reshape global markets.
