End of the Penny and the Next Phase of Currency Debasement

1 week ago | lewrockwell.com | Doug Casey

International Man: President Trump has ordered the Treasury to stop minting pennies after 232 years, citing the fact that each one costs more than two cents to produce—calling it a waste of taxpayer money. What’s your take on this move? Doug Casey: It may seem odd that we’re talking about something as trivial as the disappearance of the penny while we may be staring World War 3 in the face any day now. We can visit that next week since the situation is so fluid.

Silver: Money, Markets, and the Metal’s Role in the Coming Chaos

3 weeks ago | lewrockwell.com | Doug Casey

International Man: What is it about silver that makes it viable as a monetary metal—that is, something people actually use to store and exchange value? Doug Casey: Let’s look at the definition of what makes a good money. There are basically six characteristics. A good money has to be durable, divisible, convenient, consistent, have use value, and some limit on supply. Using those six key characteristics, gold ranks first, silver second, and copper third.
Will Trump Last All Four Years?

3 weeks ago | crisisinvesting.com | Doug Casey

In this episode of Doug Casey's Take, Doug and I dug into the real drivers behind Trump's reshoring agenda. Spoiler: it's not about jobs or prosperity—it's about gearing up for war. Trump doesn't talk about building refrigerators; he talks about AI, "big things," and most of all, military equipment. But Doug sees the fundamental contradiction here. The U.S. controls about 75% of the world's armament trade, yet our supply chains run through China—our supposed enemy.

4 weeks ago | lewrockwell.com | Doug Casey

International Man: Revisionist history refers to the re-examination and reinterpretation of historical events, which can be done to correct inaccuracies, update understanding, or challenge prevailing narratives. This just sounds like applying critical thinking to history. What’s your take? Doug Casey: The essence of critical thinking is to question every proposition and then investigating the answers for accuracy and logic.
