Optimistic About Gold
Jayant Bhandari joins Mike Manciel of Rethinking the Dollar to discuss fiat currencies, centralization, global instability, real assets, and where the world is headed.
Zimbabwe: Worse is Yet to Come
I join Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable to discuss Zimbabwe after Mugabe, why the country’s problems run deeper than politics, and where investors can find arbitrage and tax-loss selling opportunities.
Japan: A Love Song
I write for Liberty Unbound about Japan’s discipline, politeness, safety, cultural cohesion, and why many criticisms of Japan reveal more about Western ideology than about Japan itself.

I join BullionStar Perspectives to discuss the aftermath of Modi’s demonetisation policy in India, the disruption it caused, and why it is unlikely to solve corruption.
Marc Faber & Freedom of Speech
I write for Acting Man about Marc Faber, political correctness, freedom of speech, capitalism, and why honest debate is essential to civilization.

I join Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable to discuss the virtues of East Asia, why Japan may be the best society in the world, and why many Third World countries are not truly emerging markets.
Canada’s Parliamentary Democracy
I write for Acting Man about the risks in Canada’s parliamentary democratic system, especially when identity politics and tribal voting blocs shape national power.
India’s Genie of Lawlessness
I write for Acting Man about India’s demonetization, the failure of its institutions, and why lawlessness, corruption, and violence reflect deeper cultural problems.
The Third World, War, and Arbitrage
I join Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable to discuss why the Third World should not be confused with emerging markets, along with India-China tensions, Novo Resources, and arbitrage opportunities.
