As we head into possible hyperinflation, the demand for gold and platinum remains consistent. Yet production is down in South Africa, one of the world’s biggest producers. Ever wonder why?
I guess you haven’t. Jay Taylor does daily, on Voice America Business’ “Turning Hard Times Into Good Times.
I will be talking to Mr. Taylor, who broadcasts and invests in the tradition of Austrian economics, on Tuesday, August 28, at 12:30 Pacific Time.
Two more recent images (taken Aug. 2012) have been added to ilanamercer.com’s Gallery. They are self-explanatory.

A doff of the hat to Albert Thompson for the Al Jazeera link reporting that “At least seven protesters [were] reportedly killed when police opened fire on miners at South African mine.”
Jay Taylor, who broadcasts and invests in the tradition of Austrian economics, is up on all things gold and South African. I will be talking to Mr. Taylor on Tuesday, August 28.
Gold is a girl’s best friend. Austrians in economics will be gold bugs and/or general metalheads.
Claudia Meads’ “Three reasons South Africa will fail,” in which she cites my book, “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa,” is featured today on South Africa’s largest news site, News24.com. South Africa seems to allow greater diversity of opinion than the US.
“…As a classical liberal writer, Ilana Mercer has written one of the greatest- and probably most complete dissertation on post-Apartheid South Africa – in many ways, of Apartheid South Africa. Her book ‘Into the Cannibal’s Pot: South Africa’ is a script that is a minimum requirement for ANYBODY who values a future in South Africa (and for that matter the USA) – notably for their children- and theirs. Read it – I urge you. …” [Claudia Meads]
Claudia Meads has courage.
