How Central Banks Control the Economy
How Central Banks Control the Economy There is perhaps no institution in modern economic life more powerful, more opaque, or more intellectually protected than the central bank. Kings once clipped coins. Emperors once debased silver. Modern democracies have achieved something far more sophisticated: they have outsourced monetary manipulation to committees of economists in expensive suits,...

What happens when interest rates rise?
The Price of Time: What Happens When Interest Rates Rise? There is no more consequential price in modern economies than the interest rate. Wheat has a price. Oil has a price. Labor has a price. But interest rates determine the price of time itself — the premium placed on present goods over future goods, on consumption over saving, on immediacy over patience. When central banks raise...

What Is the Global Economy?
What Is the Global Economy? The modern man wakes up in a bed assembled from Malaysian rubber, Chinese steel, and German machinery. He checks a phone designed in California, manufactured in Shenzhen, powered by lithium mined in Chile and cobalt extracted from the Congo. He drinks Brazilian coffee while scrolling through financial headlines about American bond yields, Japanese monetary policy,...

How Countries Affect Each Other Economically
How Countries Affect Each Other Economically The modern economy is often described as a machine. This is misleading. Machines are engineered. They have designers, tolerances, manuals, and predictable outputs. The global economy resembles something far older and far less obedient: a marketplace stretched across oceans, stitched together by debt contracts, shipping lanes, political bargains, and...

What Are Tariffs and Trade Agreements?
What Are Tariffs and Trade Agreements? There is a peculiar habit among modern economists: they speak of trade as though it were weather. A force of nature. Something that simply happens. Containers move across oceans, currencies fluctuate, governments sign treaties in conference halls with polished marble floors, and somewhere in the middle of it all, ordinary people are told that...

What Is Globalization?
What Is Globalization? The shirt on a teenager in Buenos Aires is stitched in Bangladesh from cotton traded in Singapore, shipped on a Danish vessel insured in London, marketed by an American firm, financed through Japanese credit markets, and purchased with wages indirectly linked to Chinese industrial demand. One object. Six continents. Countless invisible agreements between strangers who...

Why Do Currencies Change Value?
Why Do Currencies Change Value? There is perhaps no greater modern superstition than the belief that money is stable because governments declare it so. People imagine the dollar to be worth a dollar because the paper says “one dollar,” much as medieval peasants once imagined a king ruled by divine right because a priest anointed him. Yet the market, with its relentless...

What Is GDP?
What Is GDP? A civilization can build cathedrals, split the atom, compose fugues, and map the human genome, yet modern economists will often reduce its success to a quarterly percentage point. That number is GDP. Three letters. Gross Domestic Product. The sacred statistic of contemporary statesmanship. Presidents celebrate it. Central bankers manipulate economies in pursuit of it. Television...

What Is Economic Growth?
What Is Economic Growth? A farmer in medieval Europe could spend an entire year cultivating wheat and still produce barely enough calories to survive winter. A modern American farmer, sitting inside an air-conditioned combine harvester guided by satellites, feeds hundreds of people while listening to a podcast. The difference between these two men is not morality, nor geography, nor luck. It...
