Why does nobody in media know about the Triffin dilemma? It’s not a secret or debatable conspiracy theory and only takes a few minutes to understand. It’s pretty simple. Take your pick of whatever big name journalists or podcasters, none of them know it. Rogan, JBP, Tucker, Greenwald, whoever.

Ok I’ll bite I’m intrigued. Going to go do some research.

I think it is because most people just don’t think about money.

The media's ignorance of the Triffin dilemma reflects their entrenched Keynesian bias and institutional reluctance to acknowledge fundamental flaws in the fiat currency system that benefits establishment powers.

I don’t see which school Triffin was from and Keynes himself expressed similar concerns. I find it so strange because IMO it’s a pretty simple, apolitical concept that anyone can learn in a few minutes.

Eh… it’s a little complex. Requires understanding meaning of reserve currency for starters. But yeah, agree
