Financial Repression

May 31, 2011
With crisis comes new vocabulary. Out of the Great Depression came the use of the word "recession" to denote the end of a business cycle rather than crises, panics, and depressions, which had previously been used.

The Significance of the Euro: A Primer

May 31, 2011
Europe’s monetary union is simply one of the most important experiments of our time. Can the countries whose wars against each other shaped to a large extent the past millennium, if not longer, form a sustainable monetary union without political union?

Dollar Upside Move Over?

May 27, 2011
The US dollar has generally trended higher in recent weeks, but provided that it does not recover today, I suspect its upside correction may very well be over.  In euro is trading at new highs for the week today and the Australian dollar and British pound are at new two week highs.   Frankly, there is some contradictory evidence and it needs to be…
