As the opening paragraph of this article notes, the Chief Editor of Interest Rate Observer needs no introduction. He is James Grant.

Grant has been over his career named many things like perma-bear and goldbug, terms often used to describe anyone who has a different take from the incentivized protectors of the status quo and their MSM cheerleaders.

Like some others noted for taking the less traveled path, Grant is never uninteresting or reluctant in giving his opinions. As we always say, read it and decide for yourself.  Whatever you decide, we hardly think you'll find it uninteresting or ill-informed.

You'll pick up on a few things like central banks being run by academic economists.The major thing academic economists are noted for is not living in the real world. You'll also note, if you don't already understand, what a flying-by-the-seat-if their Ph'd degrees zero interest rates are. As Grant notes it's a tax on savings.

And then there's the upcoming confiscation of the $100 bill and the 500 euro note, attacks not on money launders and terrorists but your personal freedom of choice and sovereignty. It's a good read.
