25 Reads For Market Skeptics

In my blog, Fringe Financeone of the most salient points I've consistently highlighted is the fallacy of the "central planning mindset" that dominates our financial institutions. Despite the almost sacerdotal reverence some have for central banking policy, my articles aim to show that no small group of experts, no matter how erudite, can possess the distributed knowledge needed to efficiently manage an economy.

I've tackled the presumptive logic behind quantitative easing, dissected the moral hazards of "too big to fail," and offered a critique of how arbitrary interest rate adjustments can throw the proverbial monkey wrench into the cogs of market operations, hampering organic economic growth and often, ironically, achieving the opposite of their stated aims.

Another focus has been the market, particularly its increasingly detached relationship with economic fundamentals.

I've questioned the long-term sustainability of a financial system so heavily reliant on central bank intervention, examining instances where stock prices have reached dizzying heights even as real economic indicators stagnate or decline. From highlighting the perils of an overleveraged economy to scrutinizing the dubious logic of eternal bull markets, my articles aim to provide a counter-narrative.
