Interest rates, government debt and central bank decisions shape jobs, prices and the value of every pound and dollar. London Real has asked economists, investors and radical thinkers how the system really works and where it is heading. These conversations cover inflation and money printing, the banking system, recessions and crashes, China and global trade, and ideas for an economy built differently. Some guests warn of collapse. Others question the rules altogether. Every full interview is free to watch.
From Currency Wars author James Rickards and economist Peter Schiff to former Goldman Sachs managing director Nomi Prins, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, MIT economist Yasheng Huang, anthropologist David Graeber and The Bitcoin Standard author Saifedean Ammous: how debt, central banks and global shifts drive the economy.
James Rickards has returned to London Real many times. In The Road To Ruin he argues that central bankers are preparing to freeze the system in the next crisis, and in Sold Out he explains how broken supply chains and inflation threaten the global economy. Peter Schiff warned of a market crash in 2013 and has long argued that easy money hides deeper problems. Nomi Prins explains how money printing has distorted markets. Robert Kiyosaki argues that Federal Reserve rate hikes threaten stocks, bonds, property and the dollar.
Some guests question economics itself. David Graeber, the anthropologist behind Debt: The First 5,000 Years, explains how Occupy Wall Street began and why so many jobs feel pointless. Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics, argues for an economy that values relationships and the natural world. Peter Joseph, creator of the Zeitgeist films, makes the case for a system built around resources rather than profit. Noam Chomsky argues that the pandemic exposed the failures of neoliberalism, while Saifedean Ammous argues that capitalism is not the problem but fiat money is.
Yasheng Huang, an economist at MIT, argues that China’s economic miracle is over, citing political centralisation and a demographic crisis. Max Keiser, host of the Keiser Report, explains why he sees Bitcoin as the answer to centralised finance. Lyn Alden discusses how to invest against inflation, and Natalie Brunell links the debt crisis to the case for financial sovereignty. Robert Kiyosaki goes further, warning that the greatest financial collapse in history is coming and that people should prepare now.

Is another financial crisis coming? Many guests think so. James Rickards, Peter Schiff and Robert Kiyosaki point to record debt, inflation and banking stress. They differ on the escape route: Rickards and Schiff favour gold, while Kiyosaki weighs gold against Bitcoin.
What is the main debate in these episodes? Whether the system can be fixed. Market economists like Rickards and Schiff blame central banks and debt. Thinkers like David Graeber and Charles Eisenstein question the foundations of the economy, and Bitcoin advocates like Saifedean Ammous argue the answer is a new form of money.
