Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, interviews Michael Wilkerson, Founder & CEO of Stormwall Advisors.
Are we already living in a wartime economy and if so, what does it mean for inflation, markets, and the future of the U.S. dollar?
As the conflict with Iran intensifies and oil markets react, a deeper economic question is emerging: history shows that major wars almost always lead to surging government spending, rising deficits, and ultimately inflation. With U.S. debt approaching $39 trillion and interest payments already exceeding the annual defense budget, the economic consequences could be profound.
Michael Wilkerson joins Michelle Makori to explain why he believes the world may have already entered a wartime economic regime and what that means for inflation, commodities, and the global monetary system. The discussion explores the strategic role of oil markets, the future of the petrodollar, the inflationary impact of war spending, and why gold, silver, and commodities could play a critical role in protecting wealth during periods of geopolitical upheaval.
Wilkerson also examines how rising defense spending, supply chain disruptions, and energy markets could reshape the global economy and why investors should be watching commodities, defense technology, and resource sectors closely.

The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets
