Debasement of the dollar by ill use of leverage is destroying the global economy. Karl Denninger, well known market commentator, has been following the path that money has taken throughout history, charting its rises and falls, to discover that currencies are debased when moneyed and powerful interests pull the levers of government and policy to enrich themselves at the expense of many. What follows is ugly: the value of everything, including gold, falls, and even personal safety is at risk in a world where there is limited money for even food. History is littered with the collapse of monetary and economic systems from Rome to Germany to Zimbabwe. Leverage charts the history or currency debasement, illustrates how it is playing out in the U.S. right now and the coming impact on the world economy.

Title: American Gridlock: Why the Right and Left Are Both Wrong - Commonsense 101 Solutions to the Economic Crises

Author: H. Woody Brock

Narrator: Maurice England

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:55:47

Language: English

Release date: 07-20-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Personal Finance

Summary:

Due to an alleged breakdown of capitalism, the U.S. is in perilous shape. Given the long-term retrenchment of consumers, there is little likelihood of a return to strong economic growth. Meanwhile, the U.S. fiscal deficit is at a record 12% of GDP, and will likely remain high for decades. Newscasters and pundits alike are asking whether the U.S. could become a banana republic and everyday citizens are concerned that politicians are more interested in getting elected than offering genuine solutions. In Capitalism 2.0 economist Woody Brock attempts to bridge the Left/Right divide and provide a path out of our economic quagmire. It is not a question of free market capitalism versus a government controlled economy, Brock writes. Rather it is a question of enacting policies to generate economic growth to reduce our debt-to-GDP ratio and to reform our political system to prevent politicians from mortgaging our future by promising benefits that we can no longer afford. Fundamentally, Brock argues we need to re-think our moribund political philosophies and to understand that capitalism is consistent with a just society, and that political parties by serving the short-term interests of their constituent groups are the greatest danger to the U.S. economy and the U.S. as a global power.
