| Financial crisis dynamics, the ‘shadow’ gold demand, and Mene |
| The study of financial crises is as old as the economics discipline itself. One of the most prominent theorists of financial crises ever to hold a senior Federal Reserve policy position was John Exter, vice-president of the New York Federal Reserve during the 1950s. Several years ago I co-wrote a series of essays on Exter’s theories together with his sonin- law, Barry Downs. In this paper, building on Exter’s work, including his eponymous ‘pyramid’, I introduce a new ‘hourglass’ framework for unSaturday, November 14, 2020 |

The fiat money quantity (FMQ)  |
| Summary : This paper seeks to establish a measure of currency quantity that helps economists identify and estimate the risk that confidence in fiat currencies might be significantly eroded or even vanish altogether. It is this phenomenon that was referred to in the great European currency inflations of the 1920s as Katastrophenhausse, or a crack-up boom, when ordinary people lose all confidence in a fiat currency, disposing of it as rapidly as possible instead preferring ownership of goods.This isThursday, September 17, 2020 |

| Stagflation is, always and everywhere, a Keynesian phenomenon |
| Stagflation is, always and everywhere, a Keynesian phenomenonAlthough it might seem odd for a school of economics to largely ignore the role of money in the economy, this is indeed the case with traditional Keynesian economics. Declaring in 1963 that, "Inflation is, always and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon," Milton Friedman sought to place money at the centre of economics where he and his fellow Monetarists believed it belonged. Keynesian policies continued to dominate into the 1970s, howeveThursday, February 25, 2016 |

| Shorting the yuan is dangerous |
| Last Sunday (31 January) Zero Hedge ran an article drawing attention to the big names in the hedge fund community who are betting heavily that the yuan will suffer a major devaluation any time between the next few months and perhaps the next three years.The impression given is that this view is universal, almost to the exclusion of any other.A market cynic would point out that when everyone is short, there is no one left to sell, so it is a good time to buy.

It may be unprecedented, but it certainly seems to be comfortable to the one percent and their courtiers, so that they are eager to let it run unfettered, and call it 'the new normal.'

| As an addendum to yesterday’s writing, today we should tie together the new alliances and what appears to be Western defections toward the East. Just overnight, Australia also applied for membership to the AIIB, a U.S. rebuke is sure to follow, who is next? With this in mind, it is my belief the Chinese will be the key player in the gold market and the “pricing” of gold in the future. In turn they will gain even more financial strength because of the massive amounts they have already accumulaTuesday, March 17, 2015 |

| BEING “POLITE”… |
| I had planned to write about the recent news Andrew Maguire relayed regarding HSBC allegedly closing their seven London gold vaults. I am putting this on hold because other than his word and Ned Naylor-Leyland’s tweets on same, I cannot find any public information confirming this. I will say, if this turns out to be true then the end game has arrived in full force for several obvious and some not so obvious reasons. Stay tuned as we hopefully get some sort of confirmation one way or the otherMonday, March 9, 2015 |
