Let's talk like we're in the pub. You've got an IPA. I've got a pinot. And it's a standard gossip... but about hardcore economics. We can do it.

Death by dollar

The USA is super scared we will all stop using dollars. Fair enough. Trump is absolutely BRICing it.

WE ARE ALL ECONOMICS

Economics couldn't be more human. And humans are funny. We're silly. We don't always make sense. Some of us never make sense. And the policies are worse. Sometimes they are totally batsh**crazy, selfish or mindblowingly petty (looking at you Nixon!).

Annoyingly, it's ordinary Joe Schmoes like us who get hit with the worst of it, with our homes, jobs, education, health, security and especially our planet. At the end of the day, it's our money. It's our world. We deserve to know what's going on. And that's my mission. Economics for normal people. Cheers!
