Propping Up the Yen, Again and Again

Can Japan just keep propping up the yen forever?  At a certain point, Japan won’t be able to just keep dumping dollars and Treasuries to prevent its currency from imploding.  With an economy so sensitive to rate hikes after decades of zero-interest rate policy, the Bank of Japan can’t endlessly jack up the cost of […]

Inflation Surges as War Spending and Deficits Grow

The latest inflation reports show price increases surging to multi-year highs across nearly every major category — driven not just by energy costs, but by the Federal Reserve’s continued easy-money policies and the compounding fiscal burden of new wars and runaway deficits.

Peter Schiff: Sovereign Debt Will Topple the Dollar

In Tuesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter lays out a stark thesis: the next major crisis won’t be a replay of 2008’s private-credit collapse, but a sovereign-credit reckoning that threatens currencies and bond markets worldwide.

The One Type of Person at the Heart of the Fed

The current Federal reserve board chairman and his successor share a very specific trajectory. They both went to an Ivy League for undergrad, got elite law degrees, went into the banking industry, and then transitioned to the public sphere. Their specific path should not be surprising to anyone, but we must critically ask whether people […]
