Inflation is arguably the number one phenomenon influencing the economy today. It is driving markets and policy. But what (or who) caused it? People point at many culprits from greedy corporations to "Putin's price hikes." But in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why the blame is being misplaced. He identifies the real culprit and explains the root cause of the confusion.

This week, Money Metals’ Mike Maharrey talks to Peter Krauth, author of the book The Silver Bull, about a range of topics, including the slow death of the dollar, the future for silver and why he believes poor man’s gold is critical to our modern world. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

Tax day was Monday. It was a painful day for some people, but for most, it was no big deal. After all, they got a nice refund.

The national debt has spiraled to nearly $34.6 trillion. It's easy to point out that this is the problem. But what are we going to do about it? Answering that question isn't so simple. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, there is a blueprint we could follow to address the spending and the debt. Thomas Jefferson gave it to us. The question is whether anybody in Washington D.C. has the courage to implement it. In this episode, Mike also talks about an unusual dynamic in the recent gold and silver rally.

We'd be better off with sound money. But how do we get there? It's a political question, and unless they are well-funded, most people feel pretty powerless when it comes to making change through the political process.  Maybe that's because we need a better approach. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey presents an alternative - a bottom-up approach that avoids Washington D.C. He presents this strategy in the context of policy to promote sound money. Mike also discusses the recent Fed meeting.
