The Coming Return Of Commodity-Backed Money
Authored by Chris MacIntosh via InternationalMan.com,
This piece is as much a mental exploration as a fact-gathering exercise.
Let's begin with the problem. Bank failures come together with economic failures.
So trusting banks is a problem, but furthermore, trusting fiat currency is also a problem. This is on top of the issue that moving capital from one bank to another is increasingly fraught with headaches. AML and KYC have become weaponised, and the global surveillance system is tightening its grip. So movement of capital, treasury, and of course what to own in your treasury are all problems as I see it.
How to solve for all?
The Inversion
Most investors think in fiat terms — what's the IRR in dollars, what's the EBITDA multiple. That's measuring real assets with a rubber ruler.

Debt Tsunami: The Alan Greenspan Legacy
Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times,
Alan Greenspan, Fed chair from 1987 to 2006, embodies a striking ideological shift from gold-standard advocate to architect of the modern easy-money, debt-fueled financial system. He has now died at the age of 100, and this marks a good time to assess his legacy and explain why it matters.
In the 1960s, as a young economist influenced by Ayn Rand and Objectivism, Greenspan strongly supported the gold standard. In his 1966 essay “Gold and Economic Freedom,” he argued that gold-backed money was essential for laissez-faire capitalism. It restrained governments from inflating the currency to fund welfare states or deficits, preventing the erosion of savings and the boom-bust cycles caused by fiat money manipulation.
