Since 1971, Your Money Has Lost 95% of Its Value

On this episode of The The Liz Truss Show, Liz Truss is joined by Jordan Walker, founder of the Bitcoin Collective, to examine what has gone wrong with Britain’s economy — and why the problem may lie at the very core of our monetary system.Since the UK abandoned the gold standard in 1971, the pound has steadily lost purchasing power, with inflation, asset price inflation, and widening inequality reshaping the economic landscape. For younger generations, the traditional path — education, work, home ownership — is becoming increasingly out of reach.This conversation explores:How fiat currency and central bank policy have reshaped the economyThe real impact of quantitative easing and money supply expansionWhy housing affordability has collapsed for younger generationsThe lack of scrutiny around monetary policy in mainstream mediaHow Bitcoin introduces scarcity and challenges state control of moneyWhy businesses — not governments — may drive financial changeAs debate grows over the role of the state, economic growth, and financial freedom, this episode asks a fundamental question:Is the system broken — or is it working exactly as designed?bitcoin uk, britain economy crisis, fiat currency explained, inflation uk 2026, housing crisis uk, why houses expensive uk, money printing explained, quantitative easing uk, bank of england inflation, bitcoin vs fiat, bitcoin adoption uk, financial freedom bitcoin, uk economic decline, central banks explained, pound devaluation, bitcoin collective, jordan walker bitcoin, liz truss show economy, uk cost of living crisis, asset inflation uk, sound money debate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
