De-dollarization is gradually establishing itself as a marker of the decline of the United States, while sovereign assets occupy a growing place, symbolizing the transition to a new w...

What is the real power of money? Money is at the heart of our exchanges. Commercial exchanges, naturally, but also social and cultural ones. By linking individuals, it helps to pacify relationships, and thus plays an almost religious role. At the same time, through its creative power, it generate...

Gold is the barometer of current events, and as such, it sends out a very strong signal. At a time when the global economy is reeling under the effects of financial instability, trade wars and geopolitical conflicts, the yellow metal is racking up record after record.

After successive interest rate hikes, prices finally seem to be slowing down, but there are still many uncertainties. So can we look forward to a return to normal, or should we expect a new economic reality marked by high inflation?

With 2024 now behind us, the year ahead promises to be all the more dramatic. The times in which we live remain historically intense. At this very particular moment when two worlds are separating, the decades to come are being written today. 2025 will therefore be marked by the accelerated develo...

What is the future for a country with a debt of over 3 trillion euros, which finds itself sanctioned by a transnational institution - the European Commission - for its budgetary situation? What is the future, finally, for France, which, in addition to this disastrous situation, also finds itself...

Trumponomics promises economic recovery and renewed influence for the United States. But Trump cannot reverse the course of history. And this is happening without American power. Rising inflation and a Fed caught in a dilemma, unsustainable debt, increased economic polarization and geopolitical t...

The tyranny of time is a fact of life in the modern world. The fear of the future and of emptiness, ingrained in everyone, is exploited to turn time into a scarce commodity to be maximized.

The gold price has just hit a new all-time high. Is this an underlying trend or a passing phase? In any case, all the conditions are in place to fuel this ascent.

The BRICS nations' New Development Bank is still a modest alternative to the World Bank and IMF, held back by limited capital, dependence on the dollar and imperfect governance. However, global rebalancing could work in its favour.

For years now, emerging countries have been enjoying stronger growth than Western nations. Globalization, combined with the rise of China, has enabled these countries to achieve dazzling growth. Whereas in the past, periods of international crisis severely affected their economies, the situation...

The recent report by Mario Draghi, faithful architect of the European project, has the bold quality of reminding European nations of the economic decline they have been experiencing for over twenty years. But the problem arises when the former ECB President presents the measures to be adopted, pa...

In just a few days, the global financial system found itself in deep trouble. Summer's calm and carefree mood almost made us forget that the global economy has been on a razor's edge for years. In just three weeks, over $6 trillion in stock market value has evaporated, despite the lull of recent...

Taking stock of Brexit also means recalling the historical events of the past few years. The poor economic results are in fact as much attributable to Brexit as to the many recent crises, ranging from the health crisis to the Ukrainian-Russian war and geopolitical tensions around the world.

Current history shows a decline in US monetary hegemony, marked by a series of de-dollarisation announcements and a reduction in dollar reserves in central banks, signalling a change in international trade, particularly in commodities such as oil.

For over half a century, the United States has surpassed the United Kingdom as the leading international power. Its military and monetary strength, the first two of a hegemonic country, remain unrivalled. The Biden administration seeks to maintain this superpower, but the world is changing.

Money, as a medium of exchange, has existed throughout human history in many different forms. For centuries, there has been a constant tension between those who advocate hard, metallic money and those who defend credit money or debt money.
