Square Minus Zero
Square Minus Zero I intentionally start writing this mere minutes away from Fed chair Jay Powell’s latest comments.

Are Asian Central Bankers Even Crazier Than Our Own? That the world’s central bankers get a lot of things wrong, deliberately or not, and have done so for years now, is nothing new.

Central Banks Are Crack Dealers and Faith Healers
Central Banks Are Crack Dealers and Faith Healers The entire formerly rich world is addicted to debt, and it is not capable of shaking that addiction.

Bank Of Japan Warns Abe Over “Fiscal Responsibility” While Monetizing All Its Debt | Zero Hedge. If one were to look up the definition of hypocrisy, the image of BoJ head Kuroda should be front-and-center.
