THE CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE This time last week the Yen was on a meltdown that many believed marked the end of the Japanese currency. However, it was able to step back from the ledge, perhaps with a little help from The Fed and the BOJ. Meanwhile, the internet was in frenzy after a clip went viral showing an economic advisor for the Biden Admin stumbling through an explanation of why the government is not able to simply print money … or can it? In our debt based financial system we are all playing musical chairs, until there is a crisis of confidence. This week Brent Johnson and Jon Kutsmeda discuss how much longer we can expect to hear the music, and who will get the last chair standing.

The Dollar Milkshake Theory, an idea created by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital to explain the role of the US Dollar in the global monetary system, is a reference to the infamous milkshake scene in the movie “There Will Be Blood”. The clever narrative, like all good tales, has taken on a life of its own, and just like the movie from which it credits its name, the “theory” has also attracted its share of haters. Brent takes it all in stride and finds humor in the drama. Particularly that which occurs on Twitter, where he is a well-known antagonist and where most financial debates congregate nowadays. So, Brent and his friend Jon Kutsmeda decided to share some of the social madness on a weekly show, while bringing some much needed perspective to the financial debate.
