When you look at the FDIC insurance programs that insure bank deposits, the deposit insurance reserve fund has about 170 billion in it to ensure $11 trillion of bank deposits. However, the idea that the insurance fund is there just to protect small depositors is very misleading. The primary duty of a modern central bank is to ensure the integrity of the commercial banking system; that means that all depositors must be protected. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is Mr. Alasdair Macleod. He shares a brilliant perspective on the banking industry and the future of Western currencies in his conversation with your host, Dennis Tubbergen.
