Despite recent optimism that central bankers have saved us from another Great Depression, they have not. They have only delayed its onset. A two year recession cannot undo the credit excesses of the past 25 years. Unfounded optimism is just that.

 I, however, am very optimistic. This is because I believe the current collapse is a necessary step to a better world. The old must die before the new can be born. The inequities of the present world are not apparent to most, especially to those who have benefited from them. Their time is over as the epoch that favored them is about to end.

At the recent conference in Hungary sponsored by the Gold Standard Institute, a fund manager asked me a question. I responded by noting that his question was a metaphysical question. 

He said yes, it was a metaphysical question and that is why he asked it.

We are in such times where metaphysical questions and answers are both appropriate and needed. The old world with its old answers no longer suffices and unless we are open to what is to be, we will swept away along with the past.

 Good luck,
