Michael Every of Rabobank discusses the evolving global financial and geopolitical landscape. He explores the potential transformation of the dollar system from one based on financialization to one focused on industrial production, possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries. The conversation also touches on the concept of multipolarity and the emergence of regional blocs, while questioning whether any alternative currency or system can truly replace the dollar's global acceptance. He examines the potential for military conflict in this great interregnum period and explains neo-mercantilism as the key takeaway.

Michael Every: Neo-Mercantilism & the New World Order #563

Mark Jeftovic discusses the advance of globalism and his contrarian take on where it goes next. He argues that the accelerating speed of technological change is the driving force of world events today. Nation states are ceding power to network states and other actors. He explains the bitcoin monetary regime change, how stablecoins are extending dollar dominance, and whether the financial system will hold together long enough to get us to the Algorithm Ghetto. He comments on the arrival of singularity, why he remains optimistic, and staying sovereign!

#328 Political machinations

AVP Diamond Young explains the Fed’s cautious stance on rates, global uncertainty affecting the dollar, and growing talk of de-dollarization. While its value remains steady for now, long-term shifts like alternative systems and digital currencies could challenge its dominance. Hedging remains a smart strategy amid uncertainty.

06/26/2025: Diamond Young - The Dollar in Transition: Keeping up with Global Shifts

US President Donald Trump has threatened heavy tariffs on BRICS, claiming the organization is "dead", but it is actually growing in size and influence. 10 members and 10 partners participated in the 2025 BRICS summit in Brazil, where they discussed plans for dedollarization, trade and investment in national currencies, and how to create a more multipolar global order. Ben Norton explains.
