What Broke Trade Was The Fiat Dollar
Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times,
The postwar trading order is taking on an entirely new shape.
We can put brackets around the old one, like a tombstone: 1944–2025.
Having known some of the economists and statesmen who put together the old order, I'm in a position to explain what they had in mind and also what went wrong with it. What will replace it is still very much in flux but the outlines are being drawn daily.
Let's go back in time to Oct. 29, 1929 when the stock market crashed. There was panic in the air and great confusion about what to do and what not to do. However, absent any serious action by government, the financial markets began to recover over six months, even as downward price pressure on commodities began to show.
Congress responded with a very large increase in tariffs. The reason was partially a holdover from what had happened two decades earlier. The income tax had replaced reliance on tariff revenue, and many members...

Stablecoins: A Quiet Revolution In Finance
Authored by Robert Burrows via BondVigilantes.com,
With geopolitics taking centre stage, the seismic tremors of Stablecoin activity go largely unnoticed. Stablecoins sit at a fascinating intersection of finance and technology. They promise the speed and programmability of cryptocurrencies with the price stability of traditional money.
What began as a niche settlement tool for crypto markets is now being discussed as a parallel monetary system—with profound implications for banks, credit creation, and financial stability.
What are stablecoins?
Stablecoins are digital tokens designed to maintain a stable value, usually pegged to a fiat currency like the US dollar. While there are several types, fiat-backed stablecoins dominate the market, accounting for roughly 90% of usage.
Two of the most widely used examples are USDC (Circle) and USDT (Tether).
Both are backed by reserves, but the composition of those reserves varies:
Stablecoins are beco...

Gold And Silver Explosion: Something Big Is Happening
Gold and silver prices, according to Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com, are signaling stress under the surface of the economy. From shrinking physical inventories to record central bank buying, precious metals warn that the underlying issues aren't resolved…
In early 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic hysteria I noted that the covid panic seemed to perfectly coincide with the Federal Reserve's acceleration of interest rates and asset dumping. This trend, I argued, was a precursor to a Catch-22 scenario I have been warning about for some time.
Since the crash of 2008, the central bank has used stimulus measures and near-zero interest rates to protect “too big to fail” corporations while keeping debt afloat globally. Doing this required the digital printing of tens of trillions of fiat dollars and, inevitably, a sharp devaluation in the greenback.
I predicted that this would lead to stagflationary conditions (which finally hit in 20...
