Time travel to the early 1970s where we hear the Nixon Tapes, read memorandums, and study Congressional testimony to understand what the Federal Reserve knew, and when they knew it. Turns out they didn't know "money" then and they still don't today. A reading, by Emil Kalinowski.----------WHO----------Jeff Snider of Alhambra Investments. Read by Emil Kalinowski.

PART 01: The 'debate' in the US Congress about the debt 'ceiling' prevented the US Treasury Dept. from issuing UST Bills, the ultimate risk-free asset. This put serious stress on the Chinese currency. Now, with the 'debate' tabled till December, Beijing (and the world) are safe... for now.PART 02: The US Treasury yield curve IS NOT inverted and, therefore, is not signaling a recession warning. But IT IS warning that the Federal Reserve's reasoning to "taper" its quantitative easing program (i.e. economic recovery/health) is unfounded. We saw this in 2018. And 2014. And 2005.PART 03: A review of transcripts and recordings from the 1970s reveals that monetary and political authorities were unable to identify the source of inflation (international liquidity creation). The authorities didn't understand money in the 1970s, and they still don't.---------SPONSOR----------Macropiece Theater with Alistair Cooke (i.e. Emil Kalinowski) reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,Typically the show notes are loaded with information about the show, reference material and acknowledgement of the people that helped make the show.  Unfortunately Episode 129 was damned by the Universe and came to us straight from Hades, Ring Four, Pit 03 (on the left).  Thankfully all the content is there.  But everything else, everything else that it takes to make the show was cursed by Podcast Deus.  Everything went wrong, not just for me but for everyone involved with the show.  Therefore I am having none of it with this show--it has bad juju.  I cast it back into Mount Doom where it can join the ring.Sincerely,Emil
