In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Axel Merk discuss:

• Brexit: An Update
  • Axel's observations from London
• The Reason Behind The Weakening US Dollar
  • The coming ECB tapering is being factored in
• Tax Cross-Currents
  • Reforms will disrupt more than folks realize
• The Brain-Dead Fed
  • Can't admit it does it what it does

In this wide-ranging discussion -- covering taxes to Brexit to gold to the markets -- Axel shares with Chris his conclusions on the inner workings of the Federal Reserve from his interactions with many of the folks involved in running it. Despite being perhaps the single most influential entity in the global economy, like any institution, it is run by fallible people who, in this case, can't recognize and/or admit that their actions are in full violation with their promised policy.
