The UnCommunist Manifesto by Aleks Svetski and Mark Moss: "Our goal was to change the axis of the “struggle." We wrote this book in the hopes it will be used as a central text in the struggle between Individual sovereignty and collective coercion we’re seeing so evidently around us today. We emulated the format and length of the Communist Manifesto but re-wrote it to remind people to reach upward and become better versions of themselves, as opposed to classifying them into static groups and validating their desire to bring others down to their level. Our longer-term hope is that this text can be a beacon of hope, sanity, and sense in a world being swallowed up by the envy inherently justified by Marxist doctrine."

We discuss: - Financial Markets - Deflationary Bust forecast - Bitcoin - Inflation - Russia and Ukraine Crisis Henrik Zeberg is the cofounder of TheZebergReport.  TheZebergReport aspires to provide a sane voice in a financial world cluttered with ad hoc understanding of Macro and Economy.
