Biden commented on monetary policy today:

'Well, I do stand by my prediction that, before the year is out, there'll be a rate cut. This may delay it a month or so, I'm not sure of that, we don't know what the Fed is going to do for certain'

FULL EPISODE: In the first edition of The Sanctions Age podcast, I spoke with Saleha Mohsin.

Her new book, Paper Soldiers, is a brilliant account of how Treasury Department put itself at the heart of US national security by weaponizing the dollar... and changed the world order in turn.

Great read about Secretary Janet Yellen's shift from hailing a surge in Chinese exports in the early 2000's to alarm over the damage it did to US industries

(The strong dollar policy that underpinned globalization wasn't great for everyone)
