A very timely piece, all of a sudden! Worth a read

The book is amazing

Epic thread But they don’t want to see 🙈

One year ago I was reading “The Lords of Easy Money” An eye-opening book from a unique perspective that helps unpack the social impact of easy US monetary policy and ZIRP over the last 30 years Highly recommended 👌

I highly recommend you all read

1/ I recently finished "The Lords of Easy Money," a superb new book from @CLeonardNews on how over the last three decades the @FederalReserve financially engineered a system of cheap borrowing and inflated asset prices with shocking consequences 💵 🧵

Awesome piece, Joseph!

I would encourage you to read a 1999 book by David Spiro from Cornell University Press called "The Hidden Hand of American Hegemony" -- he exhaustively looks at the documents and argues compellingly that the petrodollar arrangement was not a market phenomenon but a political one

Great book

Good thread by Patrick. Disagree with him on the historical importance of the petrodollar pact but this point is key: If you're an oil exporter now accepting yuan or other currencies instead of dollars, what do you do with them?

They have some very, very good investigative reporters working on international issues. For example this piece is amazing:

Your book Lords of Poverty is a masterpiece 👏 Sadly the situation with the Bank and the Fund is somehow even worse than when you wrote it in the first place 😢

Bitcoin is a store of *values* Great framing and nice piece by @frankcorva

From Scott Sullivan's excellent and detailed explainer on Proof-of-Stake
