Lyn Alden’s Latest: Why Currency Devaluation Is Inevitable

The article looks at:

  • How short-term debt cycles add up to long-term debt cycles that have very different remedies
  • Why long-term debt cycles inevitably end in default or devaluation 
  • Why the conclusion of the last long-term debt cycle in the U.S. – the 1930s and 1940s – suggests that devaluation is the most likely outcome
