by Chris Martenson

There’s a huge, glaring defect at the core of our financial and economic system, and it’s sitting in plain sight. Surprisingly, few people are aware of it, and I can reveal it in just two simple charts. One of the growth in debt, the other in the relationship between economic growth and oil consumption. It’s…

Why The Windfall Oil Tax Will Backfire
by Chris Martenson

Those greedy oil companies! Time to tax them good and hard! The only problem with this view is it is so short-sighted and unsophisticated it will actually produce the exact opposite of what it (supposedly) intends. So, get ready for a future of lower oil supplies and higher prices along with related economic harms that…

While the markets ignore the European self-sanctioning of energy resources, fully expecting a new money printing party by the central banks, real life Europeans and businesses are suffering. Chris digs in.

This is the worst currency crisis and inflationary environment of most people’s lifetimes, but this time in multiple areas at the same time. We could be facing a Peso crisis in Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Argentina all at once. Along with a Yen and an Asian currency crisis at the same time. Oh, and a…

One does not simply take a massively complex system like oil refining and jerk it about with sanctions and supply cuts without creating massive whiplash effects. But this is what Europe has done with Russian oil and gas and the knock-on effects are going to be exceptionally painful and long-lasting. For their part Saudi Arabia…
