The Bank for International Settlements Annual Economic Report has just dropped, and there's a markedly less positive tone than last year, when it was celebrating imminent soft landings in the global economy. It warns of a deteriorating outlook for growth, coupled with vulnerabilities in the global financial system.  So, what exactly is the BIS worried about, how can policy and regulation respond, and should central banks start worrying about the next systemic crisis? Gaston Gelos and Frank Smets are Deputy Heads of the Monetary and Economic Department at the BIS and are also two of the authors who put together the report. They talk to Tim Phillips about why last year's optimism has disappeared, and how monetary and fiscal policy can adjust to cope with a new era of uncertainty and fragmentation.

Is capitalism really crushing the middle class—or are bad policies and worse narratives to blame?In this episode of the Let People Prosper Show, I'm joined by Dr. Norbert Michel, vice president and director of the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Fiscal Alternatives. We dig into his new book, Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies Are Threatening The American Dream.Norbert pulls back the curtain on the false story of a stagnating middle class, exposes the economic harms of tariffs and industrial policy, and makes the principled case for decentralization and free-market capitalism. This is a must-listen if you're tired of political narratives distorting economic reality—and want honest solutions that let people prosper.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

Michael Howell warns that the global financial system is approaching a breaking point, not from a recession, but from a massive mismatch between debt and liquidity. As the U.S. and other governments try to roll over trillions in short-term debt at rising interest rates, the quiet result is monetary inflation. In this explosive interview with James Connor, Howell explains why 5% bond yields are the new normal, why the 60/40 portfolio model is obsolete, and why China, not just the Fed, may be driving the gold bull market. He warns that global bond markets are flashing danger, and the coming 2026–2028 refinancing cliff could trigger the next big crisis. Key Topics: • Why bond yields are rising globally, and what that means for markets • The most overlooked metric: debt-to-liquidity, not debt-to-GDP • How governments are quietly monetizing deficits, risking long-term damage • Why China's liquidity surge may be fueling the gold and Bitcoin rally • The real reason traditional portfolios won't survive this macro regime Volatility got you concerned?

Finishing chapter 4 and beginning chapter 5! The term "Amen" has an element of an oath to it. As does "No." And "Yes." With support from God's promise to never destroy the earth via water again. Plus, what happens when an oath is in the form a curse, swearing to the negative? When would the Ineffable Name of God be required - if one is going to curse "in the name of God"? A new mishnah! (with the new chapter) - An oath over a deposit or collateral. How aware does the oath-taker need to be of a violation, in order to be liable for a false oath? Plus, the penalties and liabilities...including personal injury - as a monetary issue.

When we think about state intervention, the first principle we consider is whether it is necessary. But we should also think about whether it is possible — and how easy or hard it is. How do we figure this out?Welcome to Episode 101 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.In this episode, Ajay lays out the metrics by which we can judge the difficulty of a proposed state intervention. Monetary policy is easy. Financial regulation is hard. Let's understand why!TABLE OF CONTENTS: 00:00 Packaging00:13 Intro: The Light Has Gone out of Our Lives03:52 Chapter 1: Is This Easy or Is This Hard?06:51 Chapter 2: Metrics for Intervention15:49 Chapter 3: Some Concrete Examples28:52 Chapter 4: The Hacking Mindset32:02 Chapter 5: The Important Things are the Hard Ones40:32 Chapter 6: RecommendationsFor the full show notes, please click here.

2 mishnayot! The administration of witnesses taking a false oath of testimony, apparently along with an oath that they know nothing about what they're being asked to testify about - perhaps swearing falsely, which may or may not entail an offering to atone for it. That requirement may depend on the specifics of the oath. Also, what about testimony about one's status -- and the oath taken in that context. Plus, the significant difference between a case of status that involves a kohen to adjudicate and administer an oath - as compared to murder (for example), in court.

Simon Pranaitis explores the biblical view of money as seen in the Mosaic law, revealing how God's statutes reflect His character and values. This sermon demonstrates that the biblical view of money shows it as a means, not an end, used to glorify God, bless others, and maintain justice in the community.

Join us on Madison's Notes as we sit down with George Selgin, senior fellow and director emeritus of the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives and professor emeritus of economics at the University of Georgia. In this insightful conversation, Selgin unpacks the myths and realities of FDR's New Deal through the lens of his book, False Dawn: The New Deal and the Promise of Recovery, 1933–1947 (University of Chicago Press, 2025). While the New Deal is often celebrated as a bold and successful response to the Great Depression, Selgin argues that many of its policies actually prolonged economic suffering—with unemployment remaining staggeringly high years later. Drawing on extensive historical and economic analysis, he separates the New Deal's successes from its failures, examines the distinct roles of fiscal and monetary policy, and reveals the overlooked factor that truly ended the Great Depression (hint: it wasn't just WWII). This episode challenges conventional narratives and offers crucial lessons for navigating future economic crises. Tune in for a nuanced discussion on why we must assess policy decisions carefully—learning from the past to build a more resilient future.

Dr. Desmond Dinan is a professor of public policy in the Schar School of Policy and Government and holds the Jean Monnet Chair in European Public Policy at George Mason University.   His most recent book is,” A Concise History of the European Union.” The EU concept grew out of WW2, but the EU was relaunched in the 1990s to deal with monetary issues, the end of the Cold War, globalization, and the unification of Germany.    Putin's illegal attack on Ukraine and the Trump administration's belligerency toward the EU and NATO have helped refocus European interest in cooperation and multilateralism.  Few Europeans realized how negative Trump2.0 would be for the continent, especially through undermining the Trans-Atlantic System, partnerships and shared values. In response to a variety of threats, the EU is starting to improve its defense procurement industry and organizing a military response, while ramping up its potential international peacekeeping activities.

“There's a mad rush for physical gold... even the U.S. is bringing it back in. It tells you that they're preparing for something,” warns billionaire philanthropist Frank Giustra in a must-watch video. He sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss how the global financial order is shifting, with gold returning to a central monetary role.As the U.S. prepares to adopt gold as a Tier 1 asset under Basel III regulations on July 1 of this year, Giustra says he sees a monetary reset coming and that “gold in one form or another is going to play a role in a new global monetary system.”For banks in particular, this change means they can increase the allocation of gold holdings on their balance sheets, using it as collateral or capital counted at 100% of its value—just like cash or U.S. Treasuries. And this, according to Giustra, will trigger “incredible ramifications” to the existing financial system. On the recent power outage scenario in Spain and Portugal, where cash withdrawals were limited, Giustra calls it 'a war on cash' and warns it could ripple globally as central bank digital currencies take hold. Watch the video to learn how you can safeguard your wealth now.

Key Takeaways: What Is Monetary Overstretch? Imagine if someone kept borrowing money and never paid it back — eventually, things would fall apart. That's what happens when the whole money system gets too deep into debt. It's like trying to build a tower too high on a shaky base. How to Spot the Signs Look out for: Super low interest rates (like banks making it cheap to borrow) Prices of things going way up (that's inflation) Big bubbles in stuff like housing or stocks (prices that don't make sense) Governments constantly giving out money to keep things running How It Affects Regular People When the system is shaky: Jobs might be harder to find Things cost more (like groceries or gas) It's harder to afford the things you need That's why it's important to understand what's going on in the economy — so you're not caught off guard. What Central Banks Are Doing Central banks (like the Federal Reserve) try to “fix” things by changing interest rates. But if they make the wrong move, it can make things worse — like trying to fix a leak and accidentally flooding the house. How to Protect Your Money It's smart to start looking at things that don't lose value over time — like Bitcoin or real estate. These are harder to “print more of,” so they can help you stay ahead when money starts losing its worth.

We could see a reset of some type that changes the whole system,” warns David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Morgan discusses the looming failure of the debt-based fiat monetary system, which he believes will ultimately lead to a financial crisis. “We are not where the market says we are… the financial system has been illogical for a very long time.” He adds that we're now in a “brisk walk” phase of gold accumulation, with central banks buying gold “hand over fist” as the public slowly begins to catch on. Meanwhile, “Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system,” he says, indicating the metal's disruptive potential to the current fiat structure. Key Facts:Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system.The run to gold has begun.Monetary reset is coming.The BIS has a plan for a new monetary system.

In Episode 254 of The Julia La Roche Show, legendary economist Dr. Lacy Hunt, Chief Economist at Hoisington Investment Management, analyzes what he calls an economic "interregnum" where five convergent forces are aligning to depress growth. Dr. Hunt methodically explains how tariffs will ultimately prove deflationary rather than inflationary, why the Fed's restrictive monetary policy is misplaced, how federal spending cuts are creating headwinds, why massive debt overhang limits policy effectiveness, and how changing demographics will impact long-term prospects. With over 56 years of experience and historical perspective dating back to the 1920s, Dr. Hunt delivers a sobering but authoritative prediction that recession lies ahead in 2025, describing it as "a long, difficult slog" rather than a brief downturn.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Dr. Hunt is an internationally known and award-winning economist. He received the Abramson Award from the National Association for Business Economics for "outstanding contributions in the field of business economics."  Dr. Hunt is Executive Vice President and Chief Economist of Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCO).This is the 56th year in Dr. Hunt's career. He served as a Senior Economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. When he entered the Fed, William Martin was chair and was grappling with severe inflation and when Dr. Hunt left the Fed, Arthur Burns was chair and also trying to contain rampant price increases.  Dr. Hunt served 23 years on the Board of Trustees at Temple University where he received his PhD in 1969, and is an honorary life trustee as well.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction and welcome1:16 - "Interregnum" explanation1:28 - Tariffs discussion begins2:08 - Economic boost from tariff announcements2:49 - Consumer buying ahead of tariffs3:42 - Employment impact of demand surge4:26 - Inventory accumulation5:03 - Federal spending decline (FY 2025)6:18 - Economy in frail condition7:05 - Beverage ratio analysis7:45 - Average hourly earnings indicator8:11 - April's wage growth weakness9:30 - Late Easter timing challenges10:31 - Recession prediction10:58 - Five convergent economic factors11:32 - Microeconomics of tariffs12:55 - Price elasticity in international trade14:31 - Historical context (1920s-1930s)15:44 - French devaluation of 192517:43 - Smoot-Hawley tariff impact19:45 - Chart explanation of M2 trend21:03 - Tariffs' impact on money supply22:15 - Monetary policy restrictiveness22:51 - Fed's "data dependency" critique25:31 - Other deposit liabilities explained28:38 - Fed policy recommendations29:37 - Tax cut potency limitations31:16 - Fed's need for longer-term view32:08 - Forward guidance discussion33:22 - Asset reallocation issues35:48 - Net national savings analysis37:39 - Birth rate economic connections39:46 - Immigration discussion42:52 - Recession confirmation43:49 - Historical economists on debt44:37 - Interest expense approaching defense spending46:18 - US debt impacts (125% of GDP)48:30 - Gross vs. net debt explanation49:48 - Fisher equation for bond yields53:00 - Tariffs' deflationary nature55:32 - High-tech sector growth analysis56:38 - Aircraft sector growth unsustainability57:11 - Federal spending outlook1:00:03 - Need for tariff dispute resolution1:01:18 - Closing remarks

Part 2: Patricia and Christian continue their conversation with economist, author, and founder of Modern Money Lab Professor Professor Steven Hail about the well-intentioned (taxing the rich is good!) but counter-productive call for a wealth tax to “fund” life-saving support for vulnerable people (needlessly waiting for the rich to cough up while people suffer and die is bad!) and, of course - those beautiful tariffs.   Full conversation here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126627127     Please help sustain this podcast!  Patrons get early access to all episodes and patron-only episodes: https://www.patreon.com/MMTpodcast     All our episodes in chronological order: https://www.patreon.com/posts/43111643   All our patron-only episodes: https://www.patreon.com/posts/57542767   LIVE EVENTS!

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff approaches global finance with the same strategic foresight that made him a chess grandmaster. Author of the new book Our Dollar, Your Problem, Rogoff doesn't sugarcoat America's future: he foresees a significant inflation shock within a decade, far more severe than the post-COVID bout. When this second wave hits, he warns, "credibility's really going to be shot." In this conversation, Ken and Tyler tackle international economic dynamics, unresolved macro puzzles, the state of chess, and more, including whether trade deficits are truly unsustainable, why China's investment-heavy growth model has reached its limits, how currency depreciation neutralizes tariff effects, Pakistan's IMF bailouts, whether more Latin American countries should dollarize, Japan's deceptively peaceful economic decline, Europe's coming fiscal reckoning, how the US will eventually confront its ballooning debt, the puzzling absence of a recession during our recent disinflation, the potential of phasing out large denomination currency notes, the future relevance of stablecoins, whether America should start a CBDC, Argentina's chances under Milei, who will be the next dominant player in chess, hanging out with Bobby Fischer, drawing out against Magnus Carlsen, and how to save classical chess from excessive computer preparation.

“Once you learn how to solve a problem, you have a business.” A lot of you may know him as DeAndre but for this episode he will be referred to as Mr. Make It Happen. No matter what obstacle stood in the path, it never deterred DeAndre from continuing to focus on the grind and whatever it takes to move forward. All he needed was someone to take a chance on him and that all started with his first Airbnb booking. Tune in to episode 216 as DeAndre breaks down the process of renting out his home room by room, explains how he was able to solve a problem other hosts had been facing and much more!
