Today, Steve Yang sits down with Dr. Keith Weiner — founder and CEO of Monetary Metals — to unpack late-stage “central-bank-ism,” why he thinks interest rates will resume a secular decline, how gold’s role is misunderstood, and why silver’s current behavior matters. Weiner lays out his “gold withdraws its bid on the dollar” thesis, discusses zombie-company debt dynamics, and explains why CBDCs are the logical (and troubling) extension of negative rates.
About the guest:
Keith Weiner is a monetary economist and the founder/CEO of Monetary Metals, a firm focused on making gold productive via leasing and bonds so savers can earn a yield in metal terms. He’s an active commentator on macro and market structure.
