Many of us have had the intuition that the economic damage from 2020 - including industrial stoppages, monetary printing, supply-chain disruptions, extended school closures, and general population demoralization - was in fact far greater than official statistics indicate.

Last week Peter joined Shannon Joy on her podcast to warn listeners that runaway government spending and a corrupting alliance between state and corporate power are eating away at living standards. He connects collapsing consumer confidence, rising interest rates, and a political media culture that shields power to make the case that savers need sound money as insurance against policy failure.

Économiste, historien de la dette et porte-parole du CADTM, Éric Toussaint décrypte la façon dont la finance privée a patiemment pris le pouvoir sur nos sociétés. Il décrit une mécanique d'irresponsabilité organisée, une impunité de classe et une crise majeure qui se prépare.

To its credit, the second Trump administration has caused more problems for the UN than any other before it.

Those seeking housing as shelter cannot compete with wealthy households and entities seeking places to park credit-generated capital for income and/or appreciation.
This will get massive pushback because it's true: either Housing Is Shelter, or Housing Is Just Another Asset in a Bubble Economy-it can't be both.

Peter recently joined Kai on Soar Financially to lay out why gold and silver are sitting on the verge of a real move and what could finally trigger a breakout. He walks through the mispricing he sees in precious metals and related stocks, explains why collapsing real rates will be the tailwind markets are missing, and warns that neither the Fed nor the political class have a clean way out.

Crise du pouvoir d'achat, faillites bancaires en Occident, guerre aux portes de l'Union européenne, démondialisation, dédollarisation... et pourtant le CAC 40 caracole sur ses sommets, comme si de rien n'était. Comment un marché peut-il battre record sur record au beau milieu d'un tel naufrage ? La rationalité n'y est pour rien.
