On August 15th, 1971, Richard Nixon gave a 15-minute speech that quietly destroyed the purchasing power of every dollar you'd ever earn — and almost nobody noticed. In this video I break down what really happened in 1971 — the secret weekend at Camp David, the gold window slamming shut, and why your wages haven't kept up since. What you'll learn: ▸ Why the Bretton Woods system collapsed ▸ How the dollar lost 87% of its purchasing power ▸ Why the system quietly transferred wealth from workers to asset owners The financial system wasn't built for you.
