Hardwired For Disaster
This is an excerpt from my most recent book, Un-Civilizing America: How Win-Win Deals Make Us Better.
Joyride To Catastrophe
The bond rout deepens, the empire recedes and your fellow readers weigh in on what comes after the US Dollar...
Fighting The Fed
The bond market peaked out in the summer of 2020. Since then US bonds are down more than 15%. But consumer prices are up nearly 20%. So, if you get your principal back now, you’re taking a loss of about 35%.
Crude Reserves
Oil leads all prices higher, more BS from the BLS and dirty tankers get busy...
Argentine-Style Bulls
Guess what stock market is up 42% this year? The S&P Merval in Argentina, of course. The inflation rate is over 100%. But these stock prices are quoted in dollars.
Relative Wealth
Moody's downgrades the banks, the rise and fall of American growth, global elites raise the energy drawbridge, the Aussie canary in the coal mine and plenty more...
Going ... Going ... Gono
From breadbasket to basket case: lessons from the world's inflation capital, Zimbabwe.

The Debt Elevator
Forget the so-called 'ceiling'... US debt is a one-way elevator.
Middle Class Squeeze
Inflation is not beaten. And it won’t be beaten without pain. No pain, no gain. The rich need to lose as their assets fall in value. The poor need to lose as the feds’ ‘transfer’ schemes become unaffordable.  
Gulag Capitalism
What’s wrong with capitalism? What’s wrong with the US economy? Why isn’t it making people richer?
Middle Class Blues
Historically, the US could comfortably carry debt equal to 1.5 times GDP. But the Fed’s way-too-low, for way-too-long interest rate policy distorted the old relationships.
