Wall Street’s Reckoning: Top Economist Predicts US Economic Collapse
Markets brace as Nobel laureate economist issues dire warning—the ’everything bubble’ is about to burst. The Fed’s monetary shell game can’t hide the structural cracks anymore.
Key indicators flashing red:
- Debt-to-GDP ratio hits 135%
- Commercial real estate timebomb ticking
- Yield curve inversion enters record territory
Meanwhile in crypto-land, Bitcoin maximalists are oddly quiet about this being ’bullish for decentralization.’ Funny how that works.
How Market Volatility, Security Risks, and Regulatory Uncertainty Impact the US Economy
The US economic meltdown concerns are stemming from several different factors that seem to be converging at this time, with controversial tariff policies at the forefront of these troubling issues.
Tariffs and Market Volatility
Economist Steve Hanke had this to say:
Hanke further stated:
According to my friend & former colleague David Stockman, Pres. Trump’s proposed tariffs will increase input costs for American businesses by $500bn.

Historical Parallels and Security Risks
Market volatility today appears to mirror previous economic disasters, which is creating significant security risks for investors. The US economic meltdown scenario bears some striking similarities to historical events that many had hoped wouldn’t be repeated.
Hanke remarked:
Regulatory Uncertainty and Investment Concerns
Regulatory uncertainty has unfortunately increased investment scams risk as desperate investors are seeking stability in these uncertain times. The US economic meltdown threatens both individual and also institutional investors amid somewhat unclear policy directions.
The financial markets are starting to resemble the 1930s Smoot-Hawley tariff era.
WE’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE.
If the markets do not change, we’re in for a lot of trouble.

Hanke stated:
“Then, on top of that, you had the announcement of the Smoot-Hawley tariff in March that went into effect in July, and what happened? The market crashed, and the market, from the time of the announcement in 1930 at March until June, 1932, the low of the market. It lost 83%, the Dow did. So I think we’re in for rough times.”
Hanke warned:
Hanke concluded:
The signs pointing toward a US economic meltdown are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore at the present time, especially with market volatility, security risks, regulatory uncertainty, and investment scams on the rise in recent months.
