Is the U.S. economy heading for a crisis, or is it still the safest bet in the global marketplace?

Peter Cavelti, an expert with over 50 years of experience in investment and geopolitical analysis, returns to talk about the Fed's recent rate cut, the future of the U.S. dollar, and global economic shifts.

In our wide-ranging conversation, Peter goes pretty deep into why predictions of the dollar's imminent collapse might be exaggerated. Plus we talk about the rising influence of the BRICS nations, and how the United States' debt burden could lead to significant economic consequences. 

Cavelti also shares insights into the challenges facing global powers like Europe and Japan, and the shifting dynamics in international capital flows.
