100 Years of Mismanagement
100 Years of Mismanagement Lost From the Get-Go There must be some dark corner of Hell warming up for modern, mainstream economists.

Why All Central Planning Is Doomed to Fail
Why All Central Planning Is Doomed to Fail Positivist Delusions [ed. note: this article was originally published on March 5 2013 – Bill Bonner was on his way to his ranch in Argentina, so here is a classic from the archives] We’re still thinking about how so many smart people came to believe things that […]
A Fatal Flaw in the System
A Fatal Flaw in the System The Hard Rocks of Real Life BALTIMORE – The Dow dropped 174 points on Thursday, the biggest fall in six weeks. Not the end of the world. Maybe not even the end of this year’s bounce-back bull run. As you’ll recall, stocks sold off at the beginning of the […]
Going Into Debt to Invest Into Debt…
Going Into Debt to Invest Into Debt… Bankers Hate It When You Hold Cash In an extraordinary turn of events, last week we were contacted by our local bankers.

Rotten to the Core
Rotten to the Core Poison Money BALTIMORE – We live in a world of sin and sorrow, infected by a fraudulent democracy, Facebook, and a corrupt money system. Wheezing, weak, and weary from the exertion of trying to appear “normal,” the economy staggers on. Staggering on…. Image credit: David Sidmond Last week, we gained […]

She’ll come! Maryland! My Maryland! – Maryland’s State Song J’accuse… Illustration by James Montgomery Flagg Guilty as Charged BALTIMORE – Yesterday, one dear reader […]
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland Everything Is Nonsense If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see? – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland A public […]
Interest Rates Are Never Going Back to Normal
Interest Rates Are Never Going Back to Normal Grotesque Mutants BALTIMORE – Let’s see… U.S. corporate earnings have been going down for three quarters in a row.

Always Watched, Always Monitored, Always Recorded
Always Watched, Always Monitored, Always Recorded Trade Slump BALTIMORE – When we left you yesterday, we were discussing the War on Cash – the push by governments to abolish physical currency.

The Fatal Flaw That Has Doomed Our Economy
The Fatal Flaw That Has Doomed Our Economy What Went Wrong? BALTIMORE – We are searching for an insight. Each time we think we see it… like the shadow of a ghost in an old photo… it gets away from us. It concerns the real nature of our money system… and what’s wrong with it. […]
When Cash Is Outlawed… Only Outlaws Will Have Cash
When Cash Is Outlawed… Only Outlaws Will Have Cash Control, Tax, Confiscate BALTIMORE – Harvard economist Larry Summers is a reliable source of claptrap. And a frequent spokesman for the Deep State. To bring new readers up to speed, voters don’t get a say in who runs the country. Instead, a “shadow government” of elites, […]
Convenient Beliefs

The Deep State’s Top Choice for President Is… RANCHO SANTANA, Nicaragua – We’re traveling home to the U.S. from our recent meeting with members of our family wealth advisory, Bonner & Partners Family Office. So, we’ll make this short. The Dow sold off again yesterday. At midday, it was down nearly 400 points. Then it recovered […]
