2026-03-02 Silver Market Crash, Federal Reserve Policy & Inflation Risks

Author: Dennis Tubbergen March 2, 2026 Duration: 29:52
In this episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, Dennis Tubbergen analyzes the dramatic 30% silver price crash and what it means for precious metals investors, inflation, and market volatility. Was it a normal correction—or a coordinated reaction involving margin hikes, exchange disruptions, and Federal Reserve leadership changes? Dr. Jonathan Newman of the Mises Institute joins the show to break down Austrian economics, Federal Reserve policy, interest rates, government debt, deficit spending, and the long-term inflation outlook. They also discuss recession risks, hyperinflation concerns, central banking strategy, and whether America’s growing federal debt is sustainable. If you’re interested in silver investing, gold markets, inflation protection, Federal Reserve decisions, and the future of the U.S. economy, this episode delivers timely insight for investors and retirees alike. Dr. Jonathan Newman is a Fellow at the Mises Institute. He earned his PhD at Auburn University while a Research Fellow at the Mises Institute. He was the recipient of the 2021 Gary G. Schlarbaum Award to a Promising Young Scholar for Excellence in Research and Teaching. Previously, he was Associate Professor of Economics and Finance at Bryan College. He has published in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics and in volumes edited by Matthew McCaffrey and Per Bylund. His research focuses on Austrian economics, inflation and business cycles, and the history of economic thought. He has taught courses on Macroeconomics and Quantitative Economics: Uses and Limitations in the Mises Graduate School. To learn more about our guest, Jonathan Newman, visit Mises.org.
