Economist Christian Briggs GDP/Stagflation Coverage


With fourth-quarter 2025 GDP revised down to just 0.7% annualized and inflation still running close to 3%, many Americans are feeling what economists fear most: a slow‑growth economy with stubbornly high prices – the textbook setup for stagflation. Your recent coverage on the GDP report and rising recession fears is exactly where Christian Briggs believes the conversation needs to go next: from headlines to “now what?” for savers, retirees, and small business owners.

Christian Briggs is the Founder and CEO of Hard Asset Management, a leading firm specializing in rare coins and precious metals, and has been in the hard‑asset markets since 1987. He regularly explains how periods of weak growth, political gridlock, and sticky inflation historically punish cash savers and over‑exposed equity investors, while pushing central banks and private investors toward tangible stores of value like gold, silver, and platinum. He has been a featured commentator breaking down how geopolitical shocks, government shutdowns, and monetary policy missteps show up in the real economy, not just in market charts.

Christian can:

Decode the 0.7% Q4 GDP number in plain English and explain why “slowing but not collapsing” can still feel like a recession on Main Street.

Lay out what a stagflationary environment typically does to stocks, bonds, housing, and the dollar – and why this backdrop historically favors hard assets.

Offer practical, non‑alarmist steps viewers can take to protect purchasing power if growth stays weak while prices and rates remain elevated.

Discuss how policy choices in 2026 – from the Fed’s next moves to fiscal responses – could either defuse stagflation fears or lock them in.

Christian’s style is clear, data‑driven, and accessible for a general audience. He’s available for live or taped segments, short notice or in‑depth discussions, and can provide follow‑up charts or talking points for your producers. He is open to in-studio as well.
