Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman

50 years ago President Nixon took the USA off the last remaining connection to the Gold Standard. Since then a lot has changed, but one constant has been inflation. Jason Hartman starts off the episode looking at what Nixon did that really staved off massive inflation.

Then Jason talks with The Rebel Capitalist George Gammon about the newest Operation Twist. This is a program run previously that aims to manipulate yields. George explains how it did work and how it might be used again. The two also examine the hyperinflation of Weimar, Germany, and see if there's any link to what's happening in the USA today.
