Today we live in a bifurcated economy: it is boom times for some and bust times for others.
Your personal situation depends largely on how close you fall on the socioeconomic spectrum to the protected elite class, towards which the central banks are directing their money-printing firehoses.
Why should we care about this bifurcation? History.

The problem is we’re misallocating capital, resources and labor on a vast scale. That’s the problem.
Adding more currency and capacity/”growth” via programs like MMT doesn’t fix this problem; it actually makes it worse.

Touring through the global and domestic US macro economic data, it’s easy to determine that mounting recessionary forces are in play.
Everything from sentiment, import/export data, (the lack of) credit growth, shipping rates — all are in alignment; the economy is weakening.
The responses of the Federal Reserve and Donald Trump are in alignment on one facet of the story; both desperately want the US stock markets to go higher. Trump applies strategic Tweets each day to that effect, and the Fed is printing $2 billion a day in their effort to cause stocks to go higher.
I think they fail this time. Adding up all the data and risks and I clearly see that…(Enroll now to continue reading)

The recent statements from the Federal Reserve and the other major world central banks (the ECB, BoJ, BoE and PBoC) are alarming because their actions are completely out of alignment with what they’re telling us.
Their words seek to soothe us that “everything’s fine” and the global economy is doing quite well. But their behavior reflects a desperate anxiety.
Put more frankly; we’re being lied to.

With this week’s twin announcements of new QE and a partial China trade agreement, the bulls are suddenly having the time of their lives.
So, does this mean happy days have returned? Have we been rescued from the mountain data warning of an economic slowdown and lower asset prices? Does the Fed — and now China, too — have our back again?
Is it time for investors to become optimistic once more?

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:
Something completely unexpected happened this week. Banks started running out of cash reserves. As a result, the cost for them to borrow money overnight — the repo rate — suddenly skyrocketed, taking the banking system and the Federal Reserve by surprise.
While the situation appears under control for now, it is not a good sign nor a healthy one for the financial system.

Recorded two weeks ago, we’ve only just now had the space to run this podcast. In it, John Rubino does a masterful job breaking down why negative rates are unnatural for a reason — they simply don’t do anything positive for the economy.

We delayed this podcast a week in order to rush the one with Axel Merk out right after the latest Fed announcement. But it’s no less important.
Precious metals analyst Jeff Clark explains why the new bull market in precious metals is ‘for real’, and why higher prices and scarcer supply in store — especially in the case of silver.

For those paying attention, there have been plenty of signs indicating that financial asset prices are dangerously overvalued and that the decade-long economic expansion is reversing towards recession.
But the mainstream — until just recently — has refused to see this.
Once it gets started, MMT will quickly destroy the remaining value of fiat currency
