De-Dollarization Debate with Brent Johnson, John Butler, Whitney Baker and Izabella Kaminska
Macroscopic PodcastShow Notes
In this second session of the Future of Gold series, Brent Johnson, Whitney Baker, Izabella Kaminska and John Butler debate one of the most consequential questions of our time: is the global monetary system on the verge of a historic reset, and what role will gold play in what comes next?
The conversation starts with gold’s re-emergence as a monetary anchor, then escalates into a sharp disagreement over whether gold will be officially remonetized, whether the dollar can remain dominant through crisis, and whether China’s gold strategy signals the beginning of a new system. From there, the panel dives into oil trade settlement, physical versus paper gold, Eastern vs Western pricing power, and the role tokenized gold and stablecoins could play in a new Bretton Woods-style framework.

Is the global financial system approaching its breaking point? In this episode of Macroscopic, Alasdair Macleod warns of an unprecedented sovereign debt crisis that could threaten the very foundations of fiat currencies.
Henrik Zeberg returns to Macroscopic to explain why he believes markets are approaching the final stage of the economic cycle. While much of the market is focused on sticky inflation, rising bond yields and the risk of a sovereign debt crisis, Henrik argues that the real warning signs are emerging in the labour market, housing and credit.
Macro strategist Luke Gromen joins Alexej Jordanov to explain why both Fed rate hikes and rate cuts are now inflationary, why the US bond market, not the stock market, is the real bubble, and why he believes gold is headed to five figures.
Brent Johnson and Francis Hunt go head-to-head over the future of the US dollar and the Dollar Milkshake Theory. Hunt argues that rising Treasury yields increasingly reflect a loss of confidence in US debt, driving capital toward gold, commodities and eventually away from the dollar. Johnson pushes back: dollar strength was never the end goal of the theory, but a catalyst for a broader sovereign debt and currency crisis.
Alexej Jordanov speaks with Rabobank strategist Michael Every about a global system increasingly driven by statecraft, military power and control over physical resources rather than conventional market forces.
