## Resource

Sign up for the newsletter and see exclusives at SarahWestall.Substack.com Economic analyst and President of Miles Franklin, Andy Schectman, returns to the program to discuss how the principles of The Art of War can extend far beyond the battlefield and into today's global economy. At first glance, it may seem unusual to compare price manipulation, monetary policy, and economic strategy to the tactics of war. Andy explains why he believes these are not separate concepts at all. Instead, he argues that markets, currencies, and financial systems have become strategic tools that nations use to advance geopolitical objectives without firing a shot. Throughout our conversation, we examine the role of price suppression, market intervention, central banks, and shifting global alliances, along with the incentives that may be driving these actions. Andy shares why he believes understanding these strategies is essential for investors trying to make sense of today's increasingly complex economic landscape. This discussion goes beyond precious metals and market analysis. It explores the intersection of economics, geopolitics, and strategy, offering a different perspective on how financial systems can be used as instruments of power in an increasingly competitive world.
