The energy cost of food; cheap money; and precious metals

Watch the full 30-minute interview at http://www.goldmoney.com/martenson-macleod-interview. In this video Chris Martenson - economic analyst at chrismartenson.com and author of The Crash Course - and Alasdair Macleod of the GoldMoney Foundation talk about the energy cost of goods – especially food. With rising fuel costs the embodied energy in our food system also gets more expensive, and could lead to dramatic changes in the way we will treat food. Martenson also believes that we have to rethink our use of metals such as copper or silver, because they are getting more and more scarce and more expansive to mine. In his mind precious metals are still very under-owned – especially at an institutional level.

This video was recorded on November 16 at the Gold & Silver Meeting 2011 in Madrid.
