“The single greatest risk that we are dealing with today is the loss of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency,” Sam Zell, the founder and chairman of Equity Group Investments said in recent RealVision interview.
“If we keep doing what we are doing right now, I think it is 10 or 15 years away,” he was quoted by MarketWatch as saying.
“A 25% reduction in our standard of living” could take place if the dollar loses its reserve status, which he says is a very real possibility, he said.
“Unlimited debt and irresponsible activity don’t lead to positive outcomes,” the billionaire real-estate mogul added. “That’s a disastrous kind of scenario.”
