Wayne Christian | Why the Largest US Oil Find Remains in the Ground
Despite the increasing role of the United States as an oil producer and exporter, most of her reserves remain in the ground, untapped.
One reason for the wasted potential is political gridlock. Wayne Christian, the Texas Railroad Commissioner, claims Democrat officials are holding back the production of billions of oil and gas barrels from deposits in West Texas and New Mexico.

Chris Martenson | How to Prepare for the End of Dollar Hegemony
The global monetary system underpinned by massive government debt can subsist for only so long before reality kicks in. What will come next?
Massive wealth transfer, says Christopher Martenson, CEO and co-founder of Peak Prosperity. He argues faith in the US dollar is not eternal, and those holding bonds, stocks, and fiat currency will bear the brunt of the fallout.

Ron Paul | How the Fed, Deep State Destroy the Middle Class
As a towering libertarian figure and former presidential candidate, Ron Paul has been advocating for reform of the Federal Reserve for years.

Danielle Dimartino | Make the Fed Have One Job Again
A lot of dysfunctions within America’s economy can be traced back to the Federal Reserve’s heavy hand in setting interest rates and tweaking the money supply.
Danielle Dimartino Booth, CEO of Quill Intelligence and former advisor to the Dallas Fed, believes the US central bank lost its way in the 1970s when Congress tasked it with ensuring both maximum employment and price stability.

Diana Barrero | Stablecoins Offer Bridge to Usability, Compliance
Cryptocurrencies have promised to usher in a new era of finance, yet mainstream institutions have been reluctant, slow adopters. Further, the cost of transactions and fluctuating prices have impeded viability for general purchases.
Diana Barrero of Yale University’s Blockchain Initiative explains that stablecoins, given their lower volatility, offer better integration into the existing regulatory framework.
She argues that stablecoins have potential in retail commerce and remittances, since today’s legacy systems require unnecessary and expensive intermediaries.

Frank Holmes | Junior Mining the Victim of Regulatory Zeal
The price rises of gold and other precious metals in recent months should have propelled the junior-mining industry. What is holding it down?
For Frank Holmes, CEO of US Global Investors and a regular commentator on financial television networks, the answer is regulation. Many banks and brokers cannot recommend junior-mining stocks due to government limits on investors and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
On the other hand, crypto mining, a virtually unregulated industry, did see a rise in investing across the board.

Julia Song | America: One Election Away from Socialism
America’s fundamental ideals are more likely to be found in history books than in the rhetoric of the 2020 US presidential primaries and election.
Julia Song, a conservative activist and commentator, fled Brazil’s socialist meltdown—which preceded Jair Bolsonaro’s rise—and moved to North Carolina, only to find the same drift toward statism.
To make matters worse, she believes prominent conservative pundits are ill-equipped to counter the rise of leftist candidates who have succeeded in convincing voters of their solutions to both real and manufactured crises. Her concern is the conditions are in place for the United States to be one election away from what she defines as outright socialism.

For Steve Hanke, economics professor at Johns Hopkins University and director of the Troubled Currencies Project with the Cato Institute, the only way out is what regular Argentines already do whenever a new crisis looms large: convert their pesos to dollars.
If not dollarization, which has been successful in taming hyperinflation and government indiscipline across the world, he argues a gold-backed currency board would be equally effective.

Mark Rossano | Negative Rates Signal New Normal for Dollar
As the globe braces for an imminent downturn and investors accept negative-yield bonds, all eyes are on central banks. However, Mark Rossano, founder and CEO of C6 Capital Holdings, contends the monetary tools offer little salvation for productivity.
Growth in dollar-denominated debt from emerging countries and preference for US treasuries keep the greenback in a dominant position. Further, given the decline of other major currencies, relatively speaking the dollar will strengthen and be positively correlated with gold, he argues.
