The American president recently unveiled a new strategic vision for America as an energy superpower. What is Trump’s energy superpower based on? New scientific discoveries and American technological leadership in this area? It turns out it’s much more prosaic. Trump, having completely abolished international law, intends to simply seize the planet’s primary oil resources. Well, […]

Modern financial capitalism is nothing less than a debt economy. And the main component of a debt economy, its “torque,” is credit money. Credit money is qualitatively different from its predecessor, “commodity money,” which had a very specific intrinsic value (labor expended), and a specific commodity (cattle, hides, wheat, etc.) served as the so-called “universal […]

As you know by now, I don’t like raising big problems without offering big potential solutions. The big problem I want to talk about today is that CEO pay has become utterly untethered from reality. When I was a young man in the 1960s and ’70s, CEOs typically made 20 to 30 times the pay […]

If we don’t raise wages at the bottom, we’re all cooked. The Big Mac has a problem that’s partly due to the corporation that makes Big Macs. The Big Mac has a big problem. According to the CEO of McDonald’s, fast food chains saw a double-digit dip in visits from lower- and middle-income customers in […]

Who will win in the economic war against Russia depends solely on Russia itself. All Western anti-Russian sanctions are based on the premise that the Russian economy is an integral part of the global dollar system, acting as a global raw materials periphery. The main goal of the sanctions is to cut off our country […]

The Central Bank has so “targeted” itself on inflation at any cost that the entire real sector of the domestic economy is being decimated. – Did the patient sweat before his death? – Yes, he did. – That’s very good! This text, once considered a joke about a certain type of doctor, is becoming very […]

So, the EU has finally agreed (on the fifth attempt) on the 18th package of sanctions against Russia. The most significant thing in the package is a new attempt to cut Russia’s income from oil exports. The “price ceiling” for the sale of oil from Russia has been reduced from $60 to $47.6 per barrel […]
