Der erste Schritt aus der Matrix

Faszination-Freiheit heute aus : Der erste Schritt, um aus der Matrix herauszukommen, ist zu verstehen, dass man selbst in der Matrix ist. Denn bereits von Kind an, ähnlich wie bei unseren Eltern, in den meisten Fällen wurden hineingeboren und sehen es als ganz normal an, dass wir ein paar tausend € beispielsweise pro Monat verdienen, dann halt ein bisschen was übrig bleibt, wir dann das Haus abbezahlen und so die ganz normalen Matrix Dinge machen....

What an Old Coin Collection Tells Us about Money from the Past

I was recently given a coin collection that belonged to another relative. Most of the coins in it are not in circulation anymore, and while you don’t see them every day, they are definitely not rare. Most aren’t in good condition either. In fact, they look much worse for wear than the coins you get as change at the grocery store. So, why would anyone bother to save these when they could have spent these coins? The reason is because, up until 1964,...

Unraveling the Roots of the German Mark’s Collapse

The 1920s in the Weimar Republic, Germany, constitute a unique chapter in the global economic narrative, a chaotic symphony of financial forces that culminated in one of the most prominent hyperinflations ever witnessed. In this ephemeral period, the upward curve of price indices tested the limits of economic understanding and monetary stability. Between 1921 and 1923, the reichsmark—the German currency of the time—plunged into an inflationary...

However, with the American public—who bears the cost of the war in Ukraine—turning against it, several Republican lawmakers questioning its purpose and affordability, and elections approaching, the Biden administration has changed the messaging on the war. Its new line is that sending...

Will Powell’s Pivot Bail Out Biden?

For the last few years, Jerome Powell has remained constant: the Fed was ready to do anything necessary until inflation returned to its 2% target.  Today, Powell blinked. While the Federal Reserve’s own optimistic projections place their preferred inflation measures staying above two percent until 2026, Powell used the December meeting to unravel the equivalent of a Mission Accomplished banner on the fight against inflation, potentially with the...
