Living Economics 6 - Currencies: Fact or Fiction?

Respectonomics through the Living Economics platform considers the backing – or the underlay – of major traded currencies. We examine how fiat currencies have morphed out of the original gold backed variety. We test the confidence in a currency, as would be associated with the underlying economy and the integrity of its central bank. The strident expansion of the money supply, connected to rising governments’ deficits, throws down a gauntlet of risk. Living Economics, a platform of Respectonomics, provides bi-weekly assessments of economic and financial issues. The analysis is timely, straightforward, relevant, unvarnished and actionable. Your Voice of Respectonomics, Jeremy Wentworth-Stanley, draws on more than fifty years in the investment industry, developing the creed of “making the obvious obvious before it becomes obvious”.
