Reading Rohan Grey: Money is an Ecosystem and Language [Ep. 158, Macropiece Theater]

It is difficult  to define what money is because the term money can refer to different things in different contexts. Money is not just a thing or unit of measurement but an ecosystem, a layer of social infrastructure, a language - and a source of power. A reading, by Emil Kalinowski.----------WHO----------Rohan Grey, assistant professor at Willamette University College of Law, where he teaches contracts, business associations and securities regulation.

Next Fed Chair to be Theoretical Lexicographer [Eurodollar University, Ep. 157]

PART 01: Around the world data shows consumer prices are accelerating like we haven't seen in years, even decades. Why? Is it because politicians are wantonly giving away money? Are gluttonous central bankers printing cash? Is it a supply/demand imbalance? Is this the 1970s Great Inflation?PART 02: The "landmine" has been part of each of the four global/regional dollar squeezes of the past 14 years (2007-09, 2011-12, 2014-16, 2018-20). The "landmine" is when US Treasury Bond yields decline precipitously and signal that economic potential has been seriously maimed. Where are we in 2021? PART 03: The last time the Federal Reserve tapered its QE program the central bank spent HOURS and HOURS and HOURS and HOURS on determining which adjective to us. Adverbs. Dangling participles, onomatopoeia, clauses, subject and object. What was NOT discussed? Money. Credit. Collateral.---------SPONSOR----------Macropiece Theater with Emil Kalinowski (a/k/a Alistair Cooke, a/k/a Alistair Cookie) reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.

Reading Perry Mehrling: Where’s My Swap Line? [Ep. 151, Macropiece Theater]

The past two decades have seen the construction of a tiered system of international liquidity provision, the first tier including those whose credit is sufficient for a swap line, the second tier including those who can offer acceptable collateral, and the third tier including everyone else. It is a global dollar system, with the Fed operating de facto as the global central bank providing international lender of last resort support to the system. It is a system created not so much by conscious design, but rather as a pragmatic response to crisis, bit by bit over time. A reading, by Emil Kalinowski.----------WHO----------Perry Mehrling is a Professor of International Political Economy at the Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University, where he teaches courses on the economics of money and banking, the history of money and finance and international money.

The Bonds, the Inflation and the CPI [Eurodollar University, Ep. 150]

PART 01: An early-1950s US consumer buying-binge sent the Consumer Price Index soaring. Inflation!? No. It was a transitory supply/demand imbalance brought on by (geo)political factors. The bond market knew it and didn't overreact. And what about the Federal Reserve? They overreacted.PART 02: We review the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 2000s and 2010s to study how bond yields reacted to persistent and pervasive monetary expansion, stagnation and contraction as well as how bond markets handled transitory consumer price shocks due to supply/demand imbalances.PART 03: What kind of foreign assets do you own PBOC?  Well, we are adding a lot of "other" right now.  "Other"?  Yes, "other".  What is that?  Don't worry about it.  What do you mean, 'Don't worry about it.'?  Just know that we're adding it, whatever it is - it's good.---------SPONSOR----------Macropiece Theater with Emil Kalinowski reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.
