if the 1970s are any indication & history repeats itself, then we should experience at least 2 inflationary spikes this decade & back to back double dip recessions.
One around 2023-25 & another between 2029-2031, with the 2nd being worse than the first.
Right now, it's calm before the storm, which may erupt in as little as 2 years from now.
There seems to be similarities between the period we are living in now, and back then.
Just like the 1960s, The Powers that be wanted to keep the economy humming at all costs in the last decade when all indications was that the economy was beginning to sputter, just as it began to around 1970. So 2019-20 is a repeat of that. They want to keep inflation artificially low and the value of the stock market artificially high. But in the process, the US dollar will take a beating and like the 1970s, be devalued against other currencies.
This talk of the US losing its fiat currency status is similar to then president Nixon taking the US dollar off the Gold Standard.
Numerous recessions, high unemployment, inflation, rising deficits, slow growth and lousy stock market characterized the 1970s.
The COVID pandemic might be seen as the 'Black Swan' event similar to the OPEC Oil Shock of the 1970s.
It's even possible that the stock market doesn't crash during this decade, that it's found its new 'high' that will go sideways, but it will also come at a high price as well. Such as high inflation & a falling standard of living for the average wage earner.
Wtih economic instability there will follow a period of transition & re-buidling for the US and world economy.
2020s may be remembered as a lost decade similar to that of the 1970s.
So...if you're young, then worry less, do your own thang and enjoy you life like they did back then.
