Legendary financial historian Sir Niall Ferguson joins Wilfred Frost on The Master Investor Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion that uncovers the seismic shifts shaping today’s global economy. Ferguson explains why U.S. debt, surging interest payments, and new tariffs spell both warning and opportunity, and dissects the interplay between gold, Bitcoin, and the weakening dollar in a world primed for volatility. The conversation probes China's explosive yet fragile ascent, Europe’s Ukraine dilemma amid shifting American priorities, and Britain’s recurrent struggle with stagnation—drawing bold historical parallels from the Gilded Age in 1890s America to the 1970s. Candid, brilliant, and often contrarian, Ferguson offers unflinching investment lessons from his own mistakes, and shares sharp insights on how the West must adapt as leadership and power move East.
