You would have to have a contract that gives you claim on these other assets. I would guess that those kinds of contracts are very rare, because you’d no longer be buying gold but a derivative whose value derives in part from gold and in pa

While I don’t disagree with the author, I think he misses the larger point that there are two distinct groups of programming code writers, that I’ll call “eager” and “reluctant” until I can think of better terms. “Eager” programmers find gr

Housing is cheap because the job market is poor. Should enough remote workers choose to relocate to the same rust-belt city we’d see higher housing prices in that city. The challenge is that rust-belt cities are just not desirable enough

That article has no mention of famines. The article is about supply chains and price shocks and using stockpiles of grain as “buffers” to soften sudden price swings. It makes sense: Grain in one place can’t feed people in another unless it
