Revolt against NIRP Breaks out, Bank of Japan “Baffled”
Revolt against NIRP Breaks out, Bank of Japan “Baffled” Meanwhile, exports collapse at fastest rate since 2009.

Central Banking Goes Negative
Central Banking Goes Negative NEW HAVEN – In what could well be a final act of desperation, central banks are abdicating effective control of the economies they have been entrusted to manage.

Why The Keynesian Market Wreckers Are Now Coming For Even Your Ben Franklins
Why The Keynesian Market Wreckers Are Now Coming For Even Your Ben Franklins Larry Summers is a pretentious Keynesian fool, but I refer to him as the Great Thinker’s Vicar on Earth for a reason.

This Is The NIRP “Doom Loop” That Threatens To Wipeout Banks And The Global Economy Remember the vicious cycle that threatened the entire European banking sector in 2012?

Why NIRP (Negative Interest Rates) Will Fail Miserably
Why NIRP (Negative Interest Rates) Will Fail Miserably What NIRP communicates is: this sucker’s going down, so sell everything and hoard your cash and precious metals.

The Negative Rates Club
The Negative Rates Club BRUSSELS – For the better part of a decade, central banks have been making only limited headway in curbing powerful global deflationary forces. Since 2008, the US Federal Reserve has maintained zero interest rates, while pursuing multiple waves of unprecedented balance-sheet expansion through large-scale bond purchases. The Bank of England, the […]
