Damn! My brain is reeling!

This is the most interesting politico-economic analysis that I have heard in many years. Alasdair brings it all together with a singular, cohesive argument in this short 40 minute interview.

You took the words out of my mouth. It's all here. The economics. The geopolitical situation. The history. Like watching a good movie, a second viewing will yield even more pearls of wisdom.

It's a fascinating quirk of Humanity and the association with money in various forms. A person who simply studied the Chinese journey would appreciate how we arrived in the place we are today...China , from the attempt with crop yields, then to a paper equivalent, landed eventually on a Metallic solution evolving to Silver. Fast forward here we are again paper promises no longer hold credibility. It's a Metal that looks like saving us again.
