La Curva de Laffer y la aplicación de una política de economía de la oferta
La Curva de Laffer está relacionada con la Ley de la Oferta y la Demanda , y postula que los ingresos del gobierno no aumentan de forma indefinida al subir los impuestos. Ilustra que tanto con una tasa del 0% como con una del 100%, la recaudación es cero. Existe un punto intermedio óptimo que...
Fuga de capitales, intereses creados y responsabilidad electoral
Es importante estar bien informados para poder calibrar las decisiones de quienes nos gobiernan, tanto de los unos como de los otros. ¿Cuántos habitantes de Estados Unidos saben el enorme grado de dependencia de China como resultado de las malas decisiones políticas de los gobernantes de este país...
Investing in cryptocurrency is extremely risky, but today’s investors have access to a better option: STABLECOINS

Una ojeada aclaratoria a la crisis del petróleo y pronósticos a corto y largo plazo
Las operaciones militares en el Golfo Pérsico acabarán siendo irrelevantes para el mercado mundial. Era previsible la notable alza del precio del petróleo crudo como consecuencia de la estrategia de guerra asimétrica iraní, designada para crear división en Estados Unidos, provocada por la...
El Mercado de Valores continúa alimentando el optimismo de los inversionistas
Contrario a lo que ha sucedido tradicionalmente en los mercados, la bonanza en el mercado de valores desde abril de 2025 no ha afectado la demanda de oro y plata como alternativas de inversión. Desde el pasado 6 de enero predije en esta misma columna que continuaría todavía con mayor vigor el alza...
El poder económico y militar de China es real pero no basta para lograr sus propósitos supremacistas
Un reportaje testimonial aparecido en The New York Times remitido por una residente de Beijing señala la desesperación de amplios sectores del pueblo chino, encubierta por las autoridades, relatando que: « Hoy, a muchos de nosotros nos resulta más difícil sentir orgullo. Detrás del orden de la...

The Oil Shortage Cannot be Printed Away
Oil prices may fluctuate day to day. But the fundamental problem facing the oil market cannot be solved with derivatives, interest-rate cuts, newly created money, or manipulating the market. A massive volume of oil has been removed from the global market as the Strait of Hormuz is essentially...
Swap Lines, Secret Bailouts, and the Weaponization of the Dollar
First, we should define what a swap line is. It basically amounts to the US giving a foreign country X amount of currency in dollars, and the other country paying for it by giving the US the same amount in their currency. For decades, US dollar swap lines were mostly reserved for major allies and...
INCOME TAX — Slightly Up From Slavery
To eliminate misunderstanding as to what taxes are, it is helpful to define the word "theft." One good definition is " the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another ." The definition does not go on to say, " unless you're the government ." There is no difference, in...
The Energy Shock is spreading into the US Bond Market
Most investors are watching oil. But... They should also be watching the bond market. Since the war began, the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed from 3.97% to around 4.60%. That’s a serious warning sign. The 10-year Treasury yield is one of the most important financial benchmarks in the world....
The Next Commodity Bull Market May Not Be Where Wall Street Is Looking
Editor's Note : The contrarian financial strategy of Chris MacIntosh and his boutique investment firm, Glenorchy Capital (along with his research service, Capitalist Exploits), centers on global macro deep-value investing that targets asymmetric risk-to-reward oppor-tunities. Instead of following...
Iran Talks Collapse: Could Oil Hit $200?
Iran negotiations have failed. And that could unleash the biggest oil shock in history. If that happens, oil could race toward $200 a barrel… or even higher… and stay elevated far longer than Wall Street expects. The consequences could hit the financial system hard. Stocks could sink. Interest...
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
