Liberty and Finance: Mar 16th, 2026 John Rubino: Is "The Great Taking” Starting? Shadow Banks, Bail-Ins & the Next Financial Crisis; John Rubino (https://rubino.substack.com/) warns that a hidden crisis may be forming inside the rapidly growing private credit market. In this conversation with Dunagun Kaiser on Liberty and Finance, Rubino explains how shadow banking and gated funds could become the next domino similar to the Global Financial Crisis. They discuss how post crisis regulations like the Dodd–Frank Act may allow failing banks to impose depositor bail ins instead of bailouts. If panic spreads, governments could impose capital controls and potentially accelerate the move toward a Central Bank Digital Currency. Rubino explains why he believes investors should begin shifting toward real assets like gold, silver, and resource companies before the next financial shock.
