Kitco News was in New York City for Platinum Week and caught up with best-selling author Jim Rickards to talk the fed, gold and the international monetary system. According to Rickards, the Fed knows gold has to go higher but taper talks continue to put downward pressure on the yellow metal. Rickards expects the Fed to continue "tapering into weakness" and says there may even be a recession next year. Tune in now to hear his take on the global economy and hear more about his latest book entitled "The Death of Money & the Coming Collapse of the international Monetary System" due for release in April.

Following some heated Twitter debates w/ Nouriel Roubini, James Rickards, author of "Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis" spoke w/ Kitco News' Daniela Cambone to counter Nouriel Roubini's prediction that gold will drop to $1,000 by 2015. Aside from his rebuttal of Roubini's call, Rickards discusses his open Twitter exchanges w/ Roubini which the two have recently become known for, and sheds some light on the nature and origin of their debate. Furthermore, Rickards examines Roubini's six-prong analysis, which is the premise of Roubini's call for $1000 gold and further significant price drops; Rickards explains why he believes market fundamentals may prove otherwise.
