  1. Next few decades will be 'very difficult', influential economist warns
    By Gareth Hutchens

    An emeritus professor at the London School of Economics and former senior official at the Bank of England says the 70 years to 2020 were as good as things ever got, and there is little hope of returning there.

  9. The RBA says Aussies are 'furious' about inflation. Many are angrier with the bank
    By Michael Janda

    Some of the main drivers of high inflation are supply issues caused by the US-Iran war and American tech giants spending huge amounts on AI, which are not problems a rate hike will solve.

  26. A word or two (quoted from Prof. Richard Murphy) on the nonsense of increasing the official #CashRate to stymie anticipated #inflation stemming from external uncontrolled events. Here, the European Central Bank is the guilty party but it holds true for all Central Banks.

    “This [ECB] move is meant to control inflation arising as a consequence of the war between the USA and Iran, as well as food shortages arising from that same war and drought. No one is suggesting there is excess demand in the Eurozone. However, inflation arising from excess demand, a phenomenon not seen in many economies for decades because so many people are having so many problems in making ends meet, is the only type of inflation that an interest rate rise can address.”

    Not only do we know all of this, but so do the #CentralBanks (they’re not stupid).

    “[…] increasing interest rates at this moment might be described as an act of economic illiteracy. It might also be described as class warfare based on economic aggression, because its purpose is, in reality, to deter those on wage income from seeking pay increases to maintain their economic positions, while those who profit from the price increases are left to enjoy their newfound and unearned riches.”

    Economic illiteracy or calculated monetary intervention to maintain unemployment and shift more wealth into the pockets of those least in need? #Bankers are not stupid. They know. The #Oligarchs creates a #war and we all pay for it while they reap insane #profits from it. And the Bankers think: ‘Why not let them moke more profits through #GreedFlation?’ We’re all screwed on this path… time for a real change, for a change.

  31. The Sneaky Attempt to End Cash

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZspAptXwQ

    The End of Cash | Plain Meaning

    On August 7th, 2026, a mostly empty Senate chamber passed a bill that
    most Americans have never heard of. There was no recorded vote. Just
    silence. And in that silence, something significant happened.

    The Common Cents Act would end production of the penny permanently.
    But buried inside an amendment introduced at 10:53pm by a blockchain
    entrepreneur turned senator was something nobody really talked about.
    It was a provision that would give the Secretary of the Treasury the
    power to eliminate every coin in American circulation. The nickel. The
    dime. The quarter. All of it could be gone with nothing but 60 days
    notice to Congress.

    In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down exactly what happened
    that night, who was behind it, and what they stand to gain. I look at
    a senator known as the "crypto queen" and another senator who made his
    money selling cars, and how they stand to gain from all this. I also
    look at the firms behind them and why eliminating physical cash would
    make them extraordinarily powerful.

    I also ask the question nobody in Washington is asking--what happens
    when the lights go out and your only form of payment is digital? What
    happens when your digital wallet gets hacked? And what does it mean
    for every American when a handful of technology firms control the
    infrastructure every single transaction in your life must go through?

    Physical cash is the only form of payment that requires no middleman,
    no electricity, no network, and no permission. This episode explains
    why that matters--and what you can still do about it.

    The bill has not yet become law. The House must still vote on the
    Senate version. There is still time. But only if people know what is
    happening.

  33. Your Mortgage Was Priced in Basel

    Somewhere in America today a couple is signing a mortgage. Thirty years, a fixed rate, a kitchen table, a pen that suddenly weighs more than it should. They believe the number on the page came from their bank, or from the Federal Reserve, or from the mysterious weather system called the market. All three answers hold a piece of the truth, and all three leave out the room where a slice of that number was set: a round tower beside the railway tracks in Basel, Switzerland, owned by the central banks of the world, run by a staff most Americans will never hear named, and answerable to no voter on Earth.
