Markets Crash, Debt Explodes: Why 2008 Was a Warm-Up for 2025

“It goes far beyond just a correction. It's the entire global debt-based system that's at risk in my opinion,” says Tim Wood, CPA and publisher of market newsletter Cycles News & Views. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Wood introduces his long-term economic cycle research, explaining that historic market cycles—from the Panic of 1819 to the Dot-Com bubble—have consistently followed a pattern of boom and bust. However, he identifies the post-2002 era as uniquely precarious: unlike previous cycles fueled by real economic innovation, this one relies heavily on government debt and stimulus with no solid economic underpinning. If the third decline “bites,” it could trigger a deflationary spiral similar to the Great Depression, warns Wood. Watch the interview to see how you can better protect your wealth in precarious times."
