This post was written by Jeff Deist, former President of the Mises Institute. Jeff will be joining Monetary Metals full-time as General Counsel in May. I am exceptionally pleased to join Monetary Metals after ten years at the Mises Institute. Offering yield on gold is both simple and yet novel in today’s modern context. […]
People constantly tell me that Trump is deregulating. What’s the proof? Well, the stock market is going up. Unemployment is going down.

The old joke is, “(with a Russian accent) In America, you correct newspaper, but in Soviet Union, newspaper corrects you.” Switzerland is now experiencing the bond market equivalent. In America, the government pays you to borrow but in Switzerland you pay the government. All Swiss bonds have a negative yield out to 9 years. Negative […]
I proposed seven drivers of financial implosion in my dissertation. My recent writing has focused on two of them. One is the falling rate of interest on the 10-year government bond. As interest falls, the burden of debt rises. Since the falling rate incentivized more and more people to borrow, the number of indebted people, […]
Last week, a story broke about Fed whistleblower Carmen Segarra. I wrote an article on Forbes about it, Disgruntled Fed Lawyer Blows Whistle on Regulatory Capture.
