Chris Whalen of Institutional Risk Analyst has this interesting interview on CNBC, sent to me by a reader.
I have not watched that television channel in some years, finding their shallowness and hypocrisy too much to bear. Of course my refuge, Bloomberg Television, has lowered its standards so much, with spokesmodels and smirking chimps, that it may have achieved parity. Are Cramer, Kudlow and Kernan still kicking? Remarkable.
This is an interesting exposition of the currency wars, and the pandering to the big financial institutions by the Fed over the past fifteen years, ultimately at the expense of the real economy in the distortions and misallocation of capital which the financial engineers have fostered.
Here is the interview with Jim Rickards to which Chris alludes.
Chris Whalen sounds like me. I wonder if he can cook?
