Here's the class.

It just started.
The professor promises that at the end of the class we'll be able to understand every word of the FT and will be able to explain it to anyone in plain English.
So far I've listened to the first lecture and read the first reading (57 pgs written by a 1920s era monetary expert; even though they're free, these classes are no joke.) btw he says the environment today is closer in many ways to that of Bagehot in the 19thC than to that of Irving Fisher in the mid 20thC, and that's on the reading list too.
If anyone wants to take it, I'd love to have some company from someone on this board.
If you don't know what Coursera is, pls go to Coursera.org because the class offerings are amazing. There's also edx and venturelab out of Stanford.
ilona.
Always beneficial to see how the brightest minds (manages 19 billion) in the industry can boil it down so simply.

I found the this article interesting, because it says in a few words that:
- One major trend is in rising Americans on food stamps, rising number of Americans either unemployed or underemployed, rising number of Americans on disability.
- The Fed is manufacturing a new stock market bubble on the base of a false business cycle economic model without any impact on the structural problems
- Emerging markets that produce commodities (Brazil) will be the next victim of the Fed manipulation.

Coursera is also offering the above class, via a Chinese university, and the titles of the first set of lectures echo precisely what Rickards asserts, e.g. the need for a "multipolar" currency system, currency reform, SDRs.

A pimco article on "what moves the price of gold"

a podcast on what has changed in terms of what moves gold. somewhat complimentary to the pimco article, but goes much broader.
