Farewell To Yet Another Failed Monetary System
Farewell To Yet Another Failed Monetary System
By Tyler Durden Wednesday, Aug 04, 2021
Authored by Egon von Greyerz via GoldSwitzerland.com,
The beginning of the end of the current monetary system started exactly 50 years ago. In the next few years the world will experience the end of the end of another failed experiment of unlimited debt creation and fake fiat money. Economic history tells us that we need to focus on two areas to understand where the economy is going – INFLATION AND THE CURRENCY.
These two areas are now indicating that the world is in for a major shock. Very few investors expect inflation to become a real problem but instead believe interest rates will be subdued. And no one expects the dollar or any major currency to collapse.
But in the last two years money supply growth has been exponential with for example M1 in the US growing at an annual rate of 126%!
Von Mises defined inflation as an increase in money supply. The world has seen explosive growth in credit and money supply since 1971 and now we are seeing hyperinflationary increases.

Hyperinflation is a currency event. Just since 2000 most currencies have lost 80-85% of their value. And since 1971 they have all lost 96-99%. The race to the bottom and to hyperinflation is now on.
As I will explain in this article, history is telling us that the explosion of credit and money supply will lead to rapid increases in inflation and interest rates and an even faster fall of the US dollar.
When it comes to monetary events, inflation and the currency are totally interdependent.
Normally an economy will be sound when the currency is sound. And the currency is sound when the economy is sound.
Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it. But then why has no currency ever survived in history? And why has every economy collapsed when the currency has collapsed?
ECONOMIC & MONETARY CHAOS IS THE RULE RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION
For anyone who has thoroughly studied economic history, monetary chaos never comes as a surprise.
As long as there has been any kind of money or monetary system, chaos has always followed at regular intervals.
Without chaos there cannot be order. That is the inevitable consequence of economic cycles. But when governments and central banks interfere in the natural cycles of ebb and flow, the world is more likely to have disorder even in the good times and chaos in the bad times. Thus government interference and manipulation distort natural cycles.

Diversification And Digitalization Are Reshaping Finance’s Future
Strictly speaking, it is far from a divorce, or even a serious breakup. But Asia’s leading economies are edging away from their eight-decade relationship with the US dollar for international trade.
Two forces are driving this evolution of the international monetary system. Amid rising geopolitical and geoeconomic fragmentation, policymakers are weighing economic efficiency against national security and strategic resilience. And digital innovation is lowering the cost of conducting transactions directly across currencies and financial networks.

Doing The Math: Interest Expense Is Going To $2 Trillion Annually
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 17, 2026
It was January 2000. AOL had just announced it was buying Time Warner in what was then the biggest merger in history. Fourteen dot-com companies had bought Super Bowl ads, one of them starring a sock puppet that sold dog food. The US economy was growing at one of its fastest paces ever; GDP was up nearly 5% the year before— and that’s real growth, before adding inflation, which itself was just 1.4%.

Central Banks No Longer Trust Each Other: The Global Rush To Gold | Mark Thornton
Kitco News: 9-18-2026
Mark Thornton called the housing bubble in 2004. For four years, he was told he was wrong. He now says every paper-dollar asset you own is facing a very difficult future, and the AI buildout is the clearest warning sign he has seen since.
In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, the Mises Institute senior fellow and author of The Skyscraper Curse explains why AI data centers are this cycle's record-breaking tower, why the bonds financing them run decades longer than the hardware, who gets stuck with the cost when a tenant stops paying, and why central banks no longer trusting each other is the best sign he has seen for gold.

September 08, 2026
The penny may be history at the U.S. Mint, but the debate over small change is far from over. In November 2025, the United States stopped producing pennies for general circulation after more than 230 years. As we discussed in The End of the U.S. Penny and What It Means for You, one of the biggest reasons was simple economics: A penny cost significantly more than one cent to manufacture. Now the same question is being asked about the nickel.
