Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Jim Rogers and Dr. Alvin Schmidt are first time guests. Passing wisdom from his latest book, “Street Smarts,” Rogers talks of the importance of thinking beyond conventional wisdom and understanding cultures outside of the West in gaining the “street smarts” you'll need to survive the decline of the West. He will help us understand, at least from our earthly perch, why China is on the rise and the West is in decline. Many of the lessons Rogers provides are also inherent in the work of Dr. Schmidt who will discuss his book, “How Christianity Changed the World.” Now that the West has largely turned its back on Christianity, could that be one reason for our decline? Regardless of your take on the cause of our decline, surviving in the here and now is something we can all agree is most necessary. To help us along those lines will be Amir Adnani of Brazil Resources and Jeffrey Wilson of Precipitate Gold Corp. Your host will also offer some thoughts on the plunging price of gold.
