We’re entering a period of time when the major systems that have supported humanity are going to fail.
Or, put more accurately: they are already failing.

When asked what the biggest risks facing the economy are, David Stockman, lifelong Capital Hill and Wall Street insider, says “That’s easy. There are three: The Fed, The Fed and the Fed.”
After decades of misguided policy and chronically missing its targets, Stockman thinks the Federal Reserve is truly barreling off the rails now, hurtling our market economy towards disaster.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:
Everyone loves a bubble until it bursts. And we now live in age of multiple bubbles, with the Federal Reserve at the center, blowing each with vigor.
This inevitably will end painfully, as every prior bubble era has. But along the way, the more massive the distortions become, the greater the injustice between rich and poor becomes, and the more damage will ultimately follow.
And, slowly but surely, more and more people are waking up to the reality that the Fed’s serial addiction to blowing bubbles is actually the cause of many of today’s problems, not the cure as it would have us believe.

Perhaps the folks at the Fed are smarter than we think, and there’s actually a grand plan they’re pursuing that’s going to work out to society’s benefit?
Sadly no, reveals this week’s expert guest, Danielle DiMartino-Booth. Danielle knows the Fed inside and out, as she worked as a consultant for nearly a decade to Richard Fischer, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, including helping deal with the Great Financial Crisis. She knows how the organization runs, as well as the specific people running it.

With the central banks hell-bent on supporting the rich by sending the prices of all financial assets farther into the stratosphere, is high/runaway inflation the natural next stage from here?
Will those worrying about a systemic “crash” from all the intervention and deformation be proved wrong?

What’s the more likely event at this point: a deflationary crash or runaway inflation?
For a long time, Peak Prosperity co-founder Adam Taggart and I have hewed to the “Ka-POOM!” theory, which states that a major deflation will scare the central banks so badly that they overreact and pour too much liquidity into the system, thereby destroying it.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Mish Shedlock discuss:
As the dust continues to settle from the mad scramble by our “leaders” to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, it’s becoming clearer and clear that the unprecedented monetary and fiscal “rescue” stimulus served to make the already-wealthy a whole lot richer while the remaining 99% of America took it squarely on the chin.
And now that the scant money for Main Street has flowed to a trickle, Mish thinks that the bucket of consequences can’t be kicked down the road for much longer. Households are starting to run out of money, and once that happens on a large enough scale, the simmering resentment across the country is due to boil over.

Millions of people are about to enter a financial purgatory not of their doing, becoming little more than modern slaves.
They’ll be called “evicted” or “foreclosed” by the media. But if we define a slave as someone forced by existing legal circumstances and approved cultural norms to work for another person, then that’s exactly what these people should actually be called; modern-day slaves.
Too harsh? Not really. Allow me to make my case.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:
The Federal Reserve’s “Leave No Billionaire Behind” program is wearing thin with the general public, which is increasingly waking up to how badly it is being ransacked by the top 0.1%. As the punches keep coming in 2020, the ire of the masses could boil over.

Well, folks: we’re officially in a price melt-up in nearly all asset classes.
Those cheering this white-hot rally argue that it truly is “different this time” and that the commitment of the world’s central banks and national legislatures provide a guarantee that prices will not be allowed to retrace.
But Doug Noland, this week’s Market Update video expert guest, strongly disagrees.
