Stijn Schmitz welcomes Willem Middelkoop to the show. Willem Middelkoop is an author and is the Founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund. Middelkoop asserts that the ābig resetā of the global financial system, a thesis he developed over a decade ago, is now unfolding in real time. He points to the accelerating decline of U.S. hegemony, evidenced by the collapsing petrodollar system and waning international support, particularly in the Middle East. This shift from an era of cooperation to confrontation is driving a fundamental change in capital flows, with generalist investors beginning to move away from paper assets like U.S. Treasuries toward hard assets. He notes that foreign ownership of U.S. debt has fallen below thirty percent, a situation he describes as āWeimar Lite,ā where the Federal Reserve is increasingly forced to monetize government debt. This environment explains the strong performance of gold, which is being reintroduced into the monetary system without official decree, primarily through record central bank purchases. China alone is buying sixty percent of the world's annual mine production outside its borders. While Middelkoop does not foresee a hyperinflationary collapse, as the U.S. retains powerful tools like revaluing its gold holdings, he believes a new financial crisis is likely in the coming years. In such a crisis, he expects central banks to play the āgold card,ā driving a significant revaluation. This outlook informs his investment strategy, which focuses on hard assets including real estate, physical gold and silver, Bitcoin, and high-quality equities. Shifting to the mining sector, Middelkoop highlights the exceptional opportunity in gold producers, which are generating record free cash flow yet trade at historically low valuations. His fund, however, specializes in discovery investing, concentrating on a select portfolio of world-class tier-one and tier-two discoveries. He emphasizes that the key to outsized returns is maintaining a long-term position in a major discovery, allowing value to compound over decades as the deposit is developed into a producing mine. This patient, concentrated approach involves taking significant stakes in companies after the initial discovery hype and supporting them through to production.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Iran rebuffs US President Donald Trump, insisting there are no ongoing talks between the two parties, Magid notes that the regime's denials have frustrated the US leader, while Iran doesn't seem deterred by the president's incendiary language. Magid discusses the sense of anticipation among Board of Peace members about convincing Hamas to agree to its disarmament proposal. The Israeli government, however, is not on board with the plan. And it has continued to carry out strikes against Hamas, notably including terrorists who invaded on October 7, 2023, and those who abducted hostages -- which could sabotage the deal. Israel's objections to the deal, says Magid, has apparently led the board to accept a more gradual withdrawal for Israel from the ceasefire lines in Gaza. In the second half of the podcast, Magid reviews the ongoing banking crisis in the Palestinian Authority, after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich signed a last-minute waiver that supports Israeli banks providing services crucial to keeping the West Bank economy afloat. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Board of Peace appears to shift terms for IDF pullback after meeting PM; Gaza airstrike reported Trump: āUnbelievably duplicitousā Iran begged for talks, now denies theyāre happening Israel acts to ease Palestinian banking crisis it helped create, but is it moving too late?

In 1720, the South Sea Company was one of the most valuable businesses in Britain until a spectacular collapse in its publicly traded shares triggered the country's first major stock market crisis. At the centre of the story was John Blunt, a shoemaker's son who rose through the ranks of the financial world to become one of the company's key architects.

Over recent decades, global shocks such as the Global Food, Fuel and Financial Crisis of 2007ā2009, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine, have driven countries to rapidly scale up social protection measures, including subsidies, to cushion households from rising food and energy prices. Increasing attention has also been placed on shock-responsive measures to address climate disasters and other crises. The recent conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to energy infrastructure and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have once again highlighted the vulnerability of global energy and food systems. While oil flows have resumed, markets are expected to stabilise over time, with continued impacts on energy prices, agricultural inputs and household budgets. In this first episode of a two-part discussion on subsidies, we draw on recent analyses to explore why such policies continue to account for over half of global responses to price shocks despite their regressive nature and significant fiscal costs, and what it would take to strengthen social protection systems as more effective and sustainable alternatives. Why do governments continue to rely on subsidies despite these challenges? What prevents social protection systems from playing a larger role during crises? And what would it take to build systems that can respond more quickly and effectively when the next shock hits? Ā *Ā This episode was recorded on 17 June 2026. While we recognize that there have been further developments in the Iran-US peace talks, the discussions in this episode remain relevant and continue to provide valuable context. Ā Meet our guests: Ā Giovanna Mazzeo Ortolani, Social Protection Specialist, FAO Yannick HemmerlĆ©, Economist, OECD Economics Department Ā For our Quick Wins segment, we spoke with Marina Carvalho, Project Manager at socialprotection.org, who introduced some of the Ā key features and improvements of the new socialprotection.org platform, Ā launched in June!

What if the way you talk about hard times online is actually pushing your clients away? Welcome back to The Pilates Lounge Podcast with your host, Katie Crane. In this solo episode, Katie shares an honest, off-the-cuff take on a trend she's noticed across social media: Pilates studio owners and instructors posting about how hard business is right now. She unpacks why that messaging can hurt your business, and what to say instead if you want to become the safe, steady place your community turns to when life feels hard. In This Episode, We Discuss The social media trend of studio owners posting fear-based messages about the cost of living crisis Why being in business is a rollercoaster, not a ladder, and always has been How your social media messaging either attracts or repels your ideal client Why "the sky is falling" posts don't help your business, even when they're true How to speak to your ideal client's fears while offering them a solution Why Pilates helps reset the nervous system during stressful times Katie's morning reading habit and two book recommendations for mindset The difference between people who survive hard times and people who suffer through them Why you get to choose how you show up, and it's okay to walk away if you need to Key Takeaways āØ Be the roof, not the storm People aren't looking for someone to confirm that life is hard. They're looking for a safe, steady place to turn to. Show up as that place. āØ Speak to fears with solutions, not more fear Your ideal client already feels stressed. The most useful thing you can post is how Pilates helps them, not a list of everything that's going wrong. āØ Business is a rollercoaster, not a ladder Business was never meant to be easy or linear. Every business owner has hard days. The difference is in the story you choose to tell your community. āØ Protect your mornings Reading for fifteen minutes each morning, instead of scrolling social media, can shift your mindset and help you show up stronger for your clients.

China just hit another record, though not the kind officials want to talk about. Not record growth. Not record confidence. Not record consumer spending. A record decline in household borrowing. Chinese households are not just borrowing less. They are pulling back at a pace we have not seen before in comparable data. And that is the real warning because this is exactly where China's worsening downturn becomes much harder to explain away.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to:Ā https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052.Ā ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

In Wild Tides: Media Infrastructure and Financial Crisis in Ireland (Duke University Press, 2026), Patrick Brodie maps the shifting fortunes of the Irish economy before the 2008 financial crisis up to 2020, outlining how the Irish state moved from rampant and irresponsible financialized development to incentivizing private media infrastructure and policy as instruments for economic recovery. Brodie contends that while the Irish state's investment in creative and technological sectors of media was supposed to bring resources back into the country and stabilize the economy, it instead rendered the country even more vulnerable to future instability and transferred wealth into the hands of multinational corporations. Through ethnographic work and close engagement with the Irish state's policy and planning across a number of key media infrastructure sites, Brodie unfolds the very real environmental and social impacts of Ireland's naturalized model of financialized, foreign direct investment-led infrastructural development. Richly researched and comprehensively argued, Wild Tides reveals the multifarious, unexpected ways that financialization reaches into the daily life of a nation. Learn more about your ad choices.

His long-tail insight: Credit union succession planning strategies are essential for institutions that want to outlast their current leadership.What You Will Learn in This Episode: ā How credit union strategy evolves over decades, and why leaders who embrace credit union collaboration and shared services consistently outperform those who go it alone.ā What the corporate financial crisis revealed about regulatory oversight and why understanding credit union history prepares today's leaders for tomorrow's risks.ā Why succession planning at both the CEO and board level is the difference between an institution that thrives beyond its founder and one that quietly disappears.ā How the cooperative model and financial literacy initiatives can position credit unions as indispensable community anchors in an increasingly corporate financial landscape.Subscribe to Credit Union Conversations for the latest credit union trends and insights on loan volume and business lending!

As Jefferson Public Radio reported, theĀ Southern Oregon University Board of Trustees voted unanimously last Friday to create its own plan for long-term financial stability rather than adopt entirely the steep cuts and revenue-raising measures the consulting firm Deloitte has recommended. SOU is facing a deficit of more than $12 million which is expected to grow to nearly $17 million by 2030.Ā Ā SOU has until next month to adopt a financial stability plan in order to receive $15 million in emergency funding approved by Oregon lawmakers in March. Deloitteās plan calls for cutting four academic programs, including music and creative writing, and reconfiguring or consolidating nine other programs in subjects like Native American studies and philosophy.Ā Ā This is the latest financial emergency the university has faced in recent years itās attempted to address through workforce and academic cuts. Last September, for example, the SOU Board of Trustees approved a plan to slash more than $10 million over four years by eliminating more than 20 academic majors and minors. SOU President Rick Bailey joins us for a perspective, along with Sage TeBeest, a creative arts program assistant at SOU and the president of SEIU 503 Sublocal 84, which represents classified staff at the university.
David Haber speaks with Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, about leadership, risk, and navigating moments of extreme uncertainty. Drawing on his experience leading Goldman through the financial crisis, Blankfein shares how organizations can build resilience, make decisions under pressure, and maintain culture while scaling. They discuss the importance of risk management as both a discipline and a mindset, the difference between being wrong and being reckless, and how great organizations balance taking risk with protecting against it. Blankfein also reflects on Goldman's partnership culture, how it shaped decision-making and accountability, and what it takes to build enduring institutions over time. The conversation also touches on technology, from the role it played in transforming financial markets to the implications of AI today, including its potential, risks, and the challenges of operating in systems that are increasingly complex and harder to fully understand.

A currency becomes āinternationalizedā when it is widely used beyond its home economy for trade, financial transactions, and as a store of value. Achieving that status can lower transaction costs and exchange rate risks, while also enhancing the issuing country's geopolitical influence. Today, the global financial systemĀ remainsĀ overwhelmingly dollar-centric, with China's renminbi playing a comparatively modest role. Yet over the past decade, Beijing has taken steps to expand its global use, expanding offshore renminbi markets,Ā establishingĀ bilateral swap lines, and developing alternative payment infrastructure.Ā To help us unpack where China's renminbi internationalization efforts stand today, we are joined by Zongyuan Zoe Liu, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Zoe's research centers on international political economy and global financial markets, with a focus on China and East Asia, as well as the Middle East.

Tyler Goodspeed is the former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors and is currently a chief economist in the private sector. In Tyler's first appearance on the podcast he discusses his new book highlighting a different way of looking at recessions, the challenge of breaking away from the human inclination of ascribing patterns to random phenomena, whether recessions are more Dorian Gray or Peter Pan, what history and stories like Jay Cooke tell us about recessions, how to evaluate supply side shocks and the 2008 Financial Crisis, why Milton Friedman's Plucking model might be the best we have at modeling recessions, and much more.

Chris, Saied and Rajeil dive headfirst into the weirdest corner of the modern economy, where the next Fed chair sounds like a political hostage negotiation, AI is either the greatest productivity boom in history or the most expensive layoff machine ever built, private credit is quietly turning banks into shadow-bank Uber drivers, and crypto keeps pretending it's financial freedom while throwing money at Washington. From Kevin Warsh and Fed independence to AI hype, corporate cost-cutting, Bitcoin mythology, Epstein-adjacent crypto lore, and the political machine behind digital assets, this episode asks the question nobody in power wants to answer: are we innovating our way into the future, or just putting better software on the same old greed machine?

3. Facing Failure: The Slosh Problem and Financial Crisis Guest Eric Berger details the second and third Falcon 1 failures between 2007 and 2008. The second attempt reached space but failed to achieve orbit due to fuel "slosh" in the upper stageāa concern the team had notoriously omitted from their top-ten list. The third flight failed when the first stage collided with the second stage after separation. These failures occurred as the global economy collapsed and Musk's personal funds dwindled. Facing bankruptcy, Musk rallied his demoralized staff, granting them only six weeks to prepare a final, do-or-die fourth launch attempt. (3)1957
