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

1 day 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?

1 day 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.

Neocons and Their Push for the Next Big War

2 weeks ago | lewrockwell.com | Doug Casey

International Man: Who exactly are the neoconservatives—where did this movement originate, what do they fundamentally believe, and why does their ideology seem so relentlessly focused on promoting war and global intervention? Doug Casey: Most of the neocons have a background as socialists or hardcore leftists. But the neocons are smarter than the average statist in that they could see that socialism was a failure—it wasn’t working anywhere.

by Doug Casey, International Man:International Man: What’s your perspective on the claims Elon Musk and others made about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during the campaign, and how would you assess the actual progress they’ve achieved since then? Doug Casey: I hate to sound pessimistic, because the idea of DOGE was excellent, but it’s not making much in the way of progress. Musk first thought he could cut $2 trillion from the budget.

Doug Casey: I hate to sound pessimistic, because the idea of DOGE was excellent, but it’s not making much in the way of progress. Musk first thought he could cut $2 trillion from the budget. I see how he could say that; it’s a very reasonable estimate.
