Meanwhile, their attempts to stimulate the economy have not worked. Yet, the U.S. has been able to raise interest rates by nearly 6% without causing a recession (so far). Combined, this puts immense pressure on China to devalue their currency … and the U.S. knows it. As the next Federal Reserve rate hike approaches U.S. monetary policy is holding the pin which could lead to the great fall of China and the popping of the biggest bubbles in the history of the world.

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.
