Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough welcomed welcomed renowned monetary economist Judy Shelton on Thursday, September 12th for a must-see webcast that delved into monetary policy, inflation, gold, the US Dollar and other pressing economic issues of our times.
From the echoes of financial crises to the recent spikes in pandemic prices and the persistent cycles of inflation, the economic landscape remains tumultuous. Yet, amid the murky discourse of economics dominated by questionable pundits and politicians, Judy Shelton stands out with clear, courageous insights that provide real and actionable solutions.
A Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, Shelton brings to the table a profound understanding of monetary policies and their far-reaching implications. Her latest book Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money offers more than just analysis; it provides a blueprint for a prosperous economic future. Shelton challenges the status quo, particularly criticizing the inflationary policies that disproportionately benefit the elite while disadvantaging the middle and lower classes. Her bold stance is that this can—and must—change.
In our upcoming webcast, Shelton will discuss her vision for the US Dollar—a vision that sees it perform "as good as gold... or even better." She argues for a new international monetary order, advocating for a use of gold that transcends traditional and historical constraints, offering a step-by-step guide on how gold can act as a universal measure of value, enhancing financial stability and fostering global economic growth.

- Price stability underpins productive economic growth.
- Political and economic freedoms are interlinked, each vital to the sustenance of the other.
- America's domestic currency stability can be reconciled in a global economic framework.
- The government's role in the economy should be structured.
This webcast is a must-watch for anyone invested in the future of not only America’s but also the global economy.
