Podcasts about Gold standard

When the Massachusetts colony issued its own unredeemable paper money in 1690, it was with the promise that it would soon be redeemable in specie. Like all paper money issued by government, it lost value and the confidence of the people.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/massachusetts-1690-first-western-fiat-experiment

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson draw a straight line between Olympic gold and principled chiropractic — because both demand the same thing: relentless preparation, mastery of the craft, and an unshakeable commitment to the truth. The adjustment that changes a child's life in two visits doesn't happen by luck. The practice that runs on pure word of mouth doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone put in the work when no one was watching, stayed rooted in principle when shortcuts were everywhere, and chose to serve with love every single time they unlocked that door. Dr. Steve and Dr. Drew also take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Guy Riekeman — a man who loved this profession deeply and left it better than he found it. Time is short. The work matters. Train like it. How's your Atlas? Learn more at drstevejudson.com and check out Steve Judson's books and gear.

Ein knuspriges Brötchen am Morgen. Pasta mit Olivenöl am Abend. Und dazwischen die immer gleiche Warnung: Kohlenhydrate machen dick. Low Carb gilt als Lösung, High Protein als neuer Goldstandard. Kaum ein Nährstoff wird so leidenschaftlich diskutiert wie die Carbs. In dieser Folge meines Podcasts DA GEHT NOCH WAS geht es um genau diesen Mythos. Was sind Kohlenhydrate eigentlich? Warum ist Zucker chemisch gesehen ebenfalls ein Kohlenhydrat? Und weshalb macht es einen gewaltigen Unterschied, ob Weißbrot und Limonade auf dem Tisch stehen - oder Gemüse, Hülsenfrüchte und Vollkornprodukte? Kohlenhydrat ist nicht gleich Kohlenhydrat. Einfache, stark verarbeitete Varianten lassen den Blutzucker rasant ansteigen, fördern Heißhunger und bringen das Hormonsystem unter Druck. Komplexe, ballaststoffreiche Quellen wirken völlig anders: Sie stabilisieren den Blutzucker, nähren den Darm und versorgen den Körper gleichmäßig mit Energie. Low Carb entstand als Reaktion auf zu viel Zucker, zu viel Weißmehl, zu viele Fertigprodukte. Doch aus einer sinnvollen Kritik wurde oft ein radikales Konzept. Dabei zeigen Studien: Extreme sind selten die beste Lösung. Sowohl sehr hohe als auch sehr niedrige Kohlenhydratmengen können langfristig problematisch sein. Balance schlägt Dogma. Gerade für Frauen ab 40 bekommt das Thema eine neue Dimension. Sinkt der Östrogenspiegel, reagiert der Körper empfindlicher auf Blutzuckerschwankungen. Zu wenig Kohlenhydrate können zusätzlichen Stress erzeugen, die Darmvielfalt beeinträchtigen und das hormonelle Gleichgewicht stören. Gleichzeitig beeinflussen Carbs nicht nur Insulin, sondern auch Serotonin, Schilddrüsenhormone und sogar den Schlaf. Ballaststoffe sind dabei echte Gamechanger. Sie puffern Glukose, unterstützen die Darmflora und helfen beim Umgang mit überschüssigen Hormonen. Auch die Reihenfolge auf dem Teller kann sinnvoll sein: erst Gemüse, dann Protein und Fett, zum Schluss die Kohlenhydrate. Und in Kombination mit Bewegung werden sie von den Muskeln besonders gut aufgenommen. Welche Kohlenhydrate sind wirklich das Problem? Was sollten wir Frauen beachten? Und: Wie funktioniert eine gute Ernährung mit Kohlenhydraten? Ich verrate es Euch. Eure Anastasia

In a follow up to our last episode, we explore a simple but important question: "What is gold, really?" We begin by revisiting our broader discussion about understanding what we actually own in our portfolios. Last month we talked about stocks as ownership in real businesses. This month we shift our focus to gold and examine how it differs. We start with the history. Gold did not become valuable because governments declared it so. It became valuable because of its unique characteristics. It is scarce, durable, divisible, and universally recognizable. For thousands of years, these traits made it an effective store of value and a medium of exchange across cultures. Paper currency originally represented claims on physical gold under the gold standard. Over time, most countries moved to fiat currency, which is backed by trust in the issuing government rather than a physical asset. Even after that shift, gold remained part of the financial conversation because it exists outside the political system. It does not rely on promises. It simply exists. We then clarify a key distinction. Gold preserves value, but it does not create value. Unlike stocks, gold does not generate earnings, innovate, or grow. It does not produce income. Its price is largely driven by perception, including inflation expectations, interest rates, confidence in institutions, and fear. We discuss how gold peaked around $850 per ounce in 1980 and then took decades to recover that level. That example highlights that gold can experience very long periods of weak performance. At the same time, gold can also have strong years, especially during times of uncertainty. We explain that gold is best viewed as a tool, not a core growth engine. Because it often has a lower correlation with stocks, a small allocation can help reduce portfolio volatility. In many cases, that allocation may range from 1 to 5 percent. The purpose matters. Are we hedging inflation, extreme uncertainty, or simply seeking confidence? When used thoughtfully, gold can provide diversification and emotional stability during downturns. Every holding in a portfolio should have a purpose. Gold is not a magical solution, but it is not useless either. Understanding what we own and why we own it remains central to long term investment success. Note: Gold is subject to the special risks associated with investing in precious metals, including but not limited to: price may be subject to wide fluctuation; the market is relatively limited; the sources are concentrated in countries that have the potential for instability; and the market is unregulated.

Surgeons are adding more lateral extra-articular procedures to ACL reconstructions, especially in young cutting and pivoting athletes. On paper, it sounds great—tighten up the anterolateral side, improve stability, protect the graft. But what does that actually mean for clinical outcomes and for how we manage rehab?A new Level 1 systematic review and meta-analysis just pulled together the randomized trials comparing isolated ACL reconstruction to ACL reconstruction plus a lateral extra-articular procedure. The results raise important questions: Are these athletes truly more stable? Do we see fewer graft ruptures? And are we quietly trading those benefits for more pain, stiffness, or long-term joint issues?In this week's podcast, we break down what the data really show, how it should influence your decision-making as a sports physical therapist, and what to watch for when an athlete walks in with a LET on their op note.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Dr. Arthur Laffer to the show. Mr. Laffer is a Renowned American Economist and Best-Selling Author. In this wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Laffer provides deep insights into economic policy, drawing from his extensive experience as an economist and advisor to President Reagan. Dr. Laffer emphasizes the importance of five key pillars of economic prosperity: taxes, spending, monetary policy, regulatory policy, and trade policy. He argues that lower tax rates, spending restraint, sound monetary policy, minimal regulations, and free trade are essential for economic growth. Reflecting on his work with Reagan, he highlights how reducing tax rates from 70% to 28% and implementing strategic monetary policies transformed the US economy. Discussing current economic challenges, Dr. Laffer is optimistic about the US economy. He addresses concerns about national debt, arguing that while the numbers appear large, they are not as dire as they seem when considering debt-to-wealth ratios and debt service costs. He warns against income redistribution policies, presenting a mathematical theorem that demonstrates how such transfers invariably reduce total economic production. On monetary policy, Dr. Laffer criticizes recent Federal Reserve approaches, advocating for a price rule similar to the gold standard. He sees gold and cryptocurrencies as refuges from poor monetary management, believing private market solutions can create more stable currencies. He’s particularly impressed with stablecoins like Tether and their potential to provide monetary alternatives. Regarding global trade and geopolitics, Dr. Laffer advocates for peace through economic strength. He believes in free trade and mutual prosperity, arguing that countries should focus on becoming trading partners rather than adversaries. He’s critical of over-regulation and redistributionist policies in Europe and supports market-driven solutions to challenges like climate change. Throughout the interview, Dr. Laffer’s core message remains consistent: economic prosperity comes from creating incentives for production, minimizing government intervention, and allowing free markets to solve problems.

Laffer is one of the most influential economic minds of the last century. He is best known for the Laffer Curve, a groundbreaking theoretical construct illustrating the critical tradeoff between tax rates and government revenue—an idea Time Magazine named one of the few advances that “powered the 20th century”. Dr. Laffer's career spans the highest levels of academia and public policy. He served as the first Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget and was a core member of President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board during both terms. His counsel was instrumental in triggering the global tax-cutting movement of the 1980s, advising leaders ranging from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Rumsfeld. An alumnus of Yale and Stanford, Dr. Laffer held distinguished professorships at the University of Chicago, USC, and Pepperdine. Today, he is the Chairman of Laffer Associates, providing institutional research and consulting from his base in Nashville. A prolific author of works including The End of Prosperity and Trumponomics, Dr. Laffer continues to shape the global conversation on fiscal policy and market incentives.

Running a business doesn't stop when life gets heavy. In this episode, we talk openly about what it really means to lead with care and concern when everything feels unstable—emotionally, socially, and economically.Julia Lashay shares real-time insight from Minneapolis, where fear, uncertainty, and disruption reshaped how agents showed up for their families, clients, and communities. We unpack how survival mode impacts decision-making, why integrity shows up most clearly during hardship, and how leadership is tested when there's no clear playbook.We also explore the importance of communication, the power of community, and why silence from leaders speaks louder than words. From financial reserves to mission-driven leadership, this conversation reminds us that care isn't a slogan—it's a habit. When chaos hits, who we are becomes impossible to hide.We Talk About: [00:00] Introduction[02:33] How Do You Balance Running a Business When Your People Are in Survival Mode?[04:44] Is Care a Slogan—or a Habit Rooted in Integrity?[06:27] Why Does Community and “Your Tribe” Matter More During Crisis?[08:11] What Do You Say When You Want to Help but Don't Have Answers?[11:35]  Are Phone Calls Still the Gold Standard for Showing You Care?[18:53]  Are Financial Reserves the Real Difference Between Panic and Stability?[20:12] What Does It Mean to Lead With Care and Concern in Uncertain Times?[23:05] How Should Leaders Speak Up When There's an Elephant in the Room?[31:02] Can Care Be Taught—or Must It Be Lived?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Or are you building muscle while unknowingly stressing your gut, spiking inflammation, and loading up on hidden ingredients?

Could returning to the gold standard fix inflation? Nick Pell explains why this shiny solution might not be all it's cracked up to be on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1279On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The gold standard wasn't some ancient monetary relic — it only emerged in 1821 when Britain pegged the pound to gold, with most industrialized nations hopping on board by the 1890s. It was abandoned during World War I because governments simply couldn't fund the war while maintaining gold convertibility.Today's global economy is roughly $115 trillion, while all the gold ever mined is worth about $28.5 trillion — roughly a quarter of global GDP. This massive mismatch means returning to gold would require either revaluing it to astronomical prices or causing catastrophic deflation.The appeal of the gold standard isn't really about the metal itself — it's about trust. People are drawn to money that doesn't depend on government promises or political whims. Gold represents certainty in an uncertain world.A return to gold would likely benefit net exporters like China while punishing net importers like the United States. Trade imbalances would transform into gold hoarding, creating constant liquidity crises that global commerce simply couldn't survive.The desire for "sound money" isn't misguided — it's the solution that's flawed. Better monetary policy rules, multi-asset pegs, or systems like Switzerland's debt-repayment requirements could provide the discipline people crave without nuking the world economy.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Bob Moriarty to the show. Bob Moriarty is Author, Founder 321 Gold, and a Former Marine Fighter Pilot. The conversation delves into complex geopolitical dynamics, focusing on the current global tensions between the West’s debt-based system and the East’s resource-based system. Moriarty offers a critical perspective on recent global conflicts, suggesting that the United States and Israel are the most aggressive nations, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Discussing Venezuela, Iran, and global tensions, Moriarty argues that these conflicts are not about oil or resources, but about maintaining Western economic dominance. He believes the current geopolitical landscape represents a fundamental shift, with the West’s debt-based system collapsing while Eastern nations like China, Russia, and Iran are becoming increasingly powerful. He emphasizes that these countries are not enemies of the West, but are simply defending their interests. Moriarty is particularly critical of U.S. foreign policy, describing current leadership as potentially the worst in world history. He warns of a potential financial collapse, comparing the current economic situation to 1929, but “ten times worse.” He strongly advocates for a return to a gold or silver-backed monetary system as a solution to the impending economic crisis. On precious metals, Moriarty is bullish, believing silver and gold are critical protection during financial chaos. He sees significant potential in these metals, noting their historical monetary importance and current industrial applications. He predicts a potential return to a gold or silver standard within the next decade. The discussion also touches on global conflicts, including potential tensions with Iran, the Ukraine-Russia war, and U.S. interventionist policies. Moriarty’s perspective is unequivocal: the United States risks significant losses by pursuing aggressive military and economic strategies. He argues that the world is witnessing a fundamental restructuring of global economic and political power, with the Western debt-based system facing inevitable collapse.

The model for training veterinarians is broken. Horse owners complain about the cost and the outcome of advanced procedures and diagnostics. Young veterinary graduates quickly become disillusioned, experience declining morale, and elect to leave the profession. The veterinary crisis is real and is occurring mostly in the horse and food animal care. As horse owners, the decline is affecting all but the elite horse centers; rural horse owners are either struggling to choose or decline expensive care options, facing ineffective or nonexistent care providers, or losing their horse prematurely. This podcast looks at the December, 2025 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Supplemental Edition, which focuses exclusively on a new concept in veterinary medicine: Scope of Care (SOC). Veterinary colleges are incorporating into their pedagogy (the art, science, and profession of teaching students) the idea of offering a broad selection of care, including different costs and outcomes. This approach effectively removes the time-honored tradition of providing the "Gold Standard" of care as the only option for horse owners. While on the surface, the offer of less costly care for horses by veterinarians appears to be a win for horse owners, it masks the fact that horse practices are failing. Declining morale among young veterinarians and owners' loss of confidence in these vets is a double punch; the result is fewer horse veterinarians charging more for diagnostics and procedures that are not scientifically compared to other, more traditional treatments. ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place to learn about horses, horse barns, and farms. Its information is free, and there is a membership side that allows horse owners to attend live meetings to ask questions and deepen their understanding of what they have learned on the site. Membership helps support this message and spread it to everyone worldwide who works with horses.

Saifedean joins Danny Knowles on What Bitcoin Did to discuss The Gold Standard: how fiat funded war and made endless conflict possible, why hard money shapes time preference, and why gold failed where Bitcoin can win.

What happens behind the scenes of a dinosaur exhibit? Short Wave host Regina Barber got to find out … by taking a trip to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. In the museum's basement, she talked to a paleobiologist, checked out a farmland fossil find and even touched a 67 million-year-old bone. Because, as it turns out, there's a lot of science that can be found in a museum basement.Learn more about the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's exhibit “The Stories We Keep”.Interested in more archaeology and dino-related science?

In 1903, a man arrived at Leavenworth Prison claiming he'd never been there before — but the staff found his exact double already serving a life sentence inside.READ MY DEEP-DIVE ARTICLE ON THIS STORY: https://weirddarkness.com/williamwest/In May 1903, a convict named Will West arrived at Leavenworth Prison in Kansas. The intake clerk was certain he'd seen this man before — and a search of prison records turned up a card for William West, a convicted murderer whose measurements and photograph were a near-perfect match. The problem? William West was already locked up inside Leavenworth, serving a life sentence. The two men had never met, weren't related, and had no idea the other existed. Their extraordinary resemblance would expose a fatal flaw in the world's leading criminal identification system — and help launch the forensic technique we still rely on today.IN THIS EPISODE: How do you convince people you are innocent of a crime committed by someone who looks exactly like you and even shares your name? It's the strange story of William West and… William West. (Will The Real William West Please Step Forward) *** In November 1638, Dorothy Talby killed her three-year-old daughter. She admitted so when first arrested. But then she refused to say anything when brought before a judge. But then, what would you expect from a woman, which we all know is more easily persuaded by Satan to sin – and women were much more likely to be seduced by witchcraft. At least, that's what people believed in the 17th century. (The Case of Dorothy Talbye) *** It's understood and agreed to by most that while it is a lot of fun to think about, time travel is simply not possible – and will probably never be seeing as we've never met any time travelers. Or… maybe we have? (True Time-Travel Moments) *** Stories of shapeshifters seem to be told worldwide – and the Celtic nations are no different. We'll look at a few shape-changing creatures from Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
