1183: Hong Kong Real Estate & Cultural Decay & Peak Prosperity, The Crash Course by Chris Martenson

From Hong Kong, China, which Jason calls the "Jewel of Capitalism", Jason Hartman delves into what he's seen about real estate and economics from his trip. If you think real estate in the US is expensive, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Then Jason talks with Chris Martenson, co-founder of PeakProsperity.com and co-author of Prosper: How to Prepare for the Future and Create a World Worth Inheriting, about how the era of abundant, cheap energy is gone and our world needs to change with it. That doesn't mean abandoning everything we have now, but just recognizing the actual situation and adjusting our investments/behavior accordingly. Chris and Jason also discuss the future, and whether we're going to see inflation, deflation, or a little bit of both.
