Precious metals analyst Ted Butler returns to the podcast this week to discuss the long-suffering silver price.

Will the beatings continue? Or is there finally reason to believe that, after seven painful years of languishing, silver may finally see a brighter future?

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:

• Cultural Capital
  • How will those around you react during a crisis?
• The Fragility Within Our Centralized System
  • Lots of dependencies that can fail & bring the entire system to a halt
• Musical Chairs
  • Who will have to eat the bad debts when the can can no longer be kicked?

And so Japan is now front and center on that stage again. Especially since Bernanke just traveled there to conclude a "secret" meeting with Prime Minister Abe and Bank of Japan head Kuroda.
