By Martin A. Armstrong © Copyright November 18, 1999 There is little doubt that the world seems on the brink of dazzling new highs or the depth of despair. The US market has proven to be more than just resilient, it has become the bug light of global economic prosperity. Unquestionably, the lure of the […]

By Martin A. Armstrong Princeton Economic Institute © Copyright September 26, 1999 For many years, I have pursued a field of study that is at best non-traditional. My discovery of a global business cycle during the early 1970’s was by no means intentional. As a youth growing up in the 1960’s, the atmosphere was anything […]

I repeatedly warned that the headlines would blame Trump tariffs for the incoming inflationary wave. Jerome Powell stated that “uncertainty is unusually elevated” as a result of tariffs, adding, “someone has to pay for the tariffs.” “Ultimately, the cost of the tariff has to be paid, and some of it will fall on the end […]

The West’s obsession with regime change has never been about democracy–it’s about control. In “The Plot to Seize Russia,” I lay out how the Club — a loosely aligned network of intelligence operatives, NGOs, and financial elites — orchestrated a coup in Russia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Soros was not just an […]

Political parties questioning the status quo are labeled as “far-right extremists.” And yet, these political parties represent the people far more than others in the Build Back Better category, who only have their bureaucratic interests in mind. We’ve seen it happen throughout the world, from the United States to Romania, and now in Germany with […]

Portugal is yet another European Union nation facing extreme political instability. António Costa of the Socialist Party (PS) resigned in November of last year amid a public investigation of corruption. Luís Montenegro and his center-right Social Democratic Party (PSD) took on the role of prime minister in April 2024, but his government lost a confidence […]

Socrates has honed in on 2025 becoming a year of great stagflation in the United States. The Federal Reserve has finally admitted that the data is undeniable—the United States will experience stagflation.   The economy is declining but prices are rising. Most understand inflation, especially in the post-COVID world, but few understand stagflation. Stagflation is […]

The United States has about 330 million people, and one in every $4 spent in world trade is by American Consumers. Europe has 450 million people, but it still clings to Marxism, is highly regulated, and is very anti-entrepreneurial, so consumer spending is about $1.2 out of every $10, even with more people. Trump fails […]

The primary policy implemented under the Trump Administration that I believe has the potential to destroy the US economy is tariffs. The very people who are supposed to advise Trump do not comprehend the global nature of the economy and the repercussions of tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently came out to say that China […]

Less than a month into his presidency, Donald Trump has received excellent feedback from the American people. YouGov, ActiVote, Emerson College, Quantus Insights, TIPP insights, Gallup and others have found that nearly half of the public sees the new Trump Administration in a favorable light, with certain polls showing up to a 53% favorability rating.
