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.

Breaking Down $15 billion Spent on California's Train to Nowhere
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) August 28, 2026
In November 2008, California voters approved a ballot measure to build a bullet train from San Francisco to Los Angeles. It was supposed to be fast enough to make the journey in under three hours. And passengers could hop on by 2020, for a total cost of $33 billion.
Eighteen years later, there is nothing to ride.

The two precious metals experts examine why credit markets are beginning to crack, and why Bill believes any gold price target being discussed today will ultimately prove laughably low — including the ones that sound outrageous right now.
