The establishment, including the state, central banks and most investors are thoroughly Keynesian, the latter category having profited greatly in recent decades from their slavish following of the common meme.

That is about to change. The world of continual Keynesian stimulus is coming to its inevitable end with prices rising beyond the authorities' control. Being blinded by neo-Keynesian beliefs, no one is prepared for it.

Kinesis Money Launches the Referrer's Yield

Company Announcement
Thursday, December 23, 2021

LONDON -- Today, Kinesis Money, the monetary system based on 1:1 allocated gold and silver, launches its historic referrer's yield, paying physical gold and silver to all referrers. 

Going forward, all system participants whose referral activity contributed to the growth of the platform will be rewarded with a recurring, monthly yield.

Since the company's inception in 2019, more than 80,000 users have joined the Kinesis Money financial ecosystem, enabling the use of gold and silver as stable and spendable currencies.

As Kinesis Money broadens its global adoption, Kinesis users will continuously benefit from Kinesis' innovative yields system, earning monthly returns, proportional to the transactional volume and number of users joining the Kinesis community. ...

This article explains why interest rates are set to rise substantially in this new year. It draws on evidence from the inflation crisis of the 1970s, and points out the similarities and the fact that currency debasement today is far greater and more global than 50 years ago. In the UK, half the current rate of monetary inflation for half the time -- just for one year -- led to gilt coupons over 15%. And today we have Fed watchers who can only envisage a Fed funds rate climbing to 2% at most.

A key factor will be the discrediting of this Keynesian hopium, likely to be replaced by a belated conversion to the monetarism that propelled Milton Friedman into the public eye when the same thing happened in the mid-'70s. The realisation that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon will come too late for policy makers to stop it.

The situation is closely examined for America, its debt, and its dollar. But the problems do not stop there: The risks to the global system of fiat currencies and credit from rising interest rates and the debt traps that will be sprung are acute everywhere. ...
