Valeriy Pekar: Ukraine prevents today's America from doing two things


 
It took a week to put together a picture of all the trash that swirled around us. Finally, we did. This text should be supplemented with important details that will become known later, but I am publishing it quickly so that we can get acquainted with the new reality. But first of all, pour yourself some tea so that you have enough strength to read to the end.

1. So, the old world order has come to an end.

The old world order, based on rules, agreements and values, no longer exists. It was never perfect, but it existed. Now it no longer exists.

The reasons for the destruction of the world order should be described in a separate article, here I will only briefly note that developed countries benefited from the world order, and developing countries (those that are developing and catching up or at least pretending to) tried to destroy it, because it is unprofitable. At some point, developing countries (primarily China) began to catch up with developed ones, and the most powerful developed country, the USA, decided that it was time to move from protecting the old order to destroying it. That is why the American people elected Trump, who became the exponent of this idea. This is not a coincidence, but the embodiment of a trend (like everything else in the world). Previously, on one side they would tear down the supporting structure, on the other they would support and repair it; now the structure is being destroyed from both sides, and it will go much faster.

MINIBOSS FRANCHISE: Innovation in Education That’s Changing the World

The Missing Resource: Entrepreneurs

The world’s greatest wealth isn’t oil, gas, gold, or diamonds—it’s people. Specifically, the 1% of the global population who possess the superhuman ability to turn resources into value and wealth. These are the entrepreneurs. But why are there so few of them? If everyone dreams of success, financial freedom, and self-realization, why does the traditional education system produce only 1% of entrepreneurs—and even then, often by accident?

The answer is simple: entrepreneurship is a superpower, and superpowers must be nurtured from childhood.

How It All Began: The Azarov Family’s Vision
Meet the Azarovs—a powerhouse family of entrepreneurs, innovators, and educators. With over 40 companies spanning media, construction, finance, hospitality, and consulting, Andrey Azarov, a renowned businessman and politician, and his wife, Dr Olga Azarova, PhD of Economics, a scientist and inventor, have built an empire. But when it came to educating their four children, they realized something was missing.

Traditional schools, with their rigid curriculums and focus on rote learning, were failing to prepare children for the real world. Even university graduates with honors struggled to distinguish profit from revenue or calculate ROI. The Azarovs knew they had to act.

Inflation Wreaks Havoc: Rising Prices and Market Turmoil




In December 2024, the consumer inflation rate in the United States increased to 2.9% year-on-year. This figure aligns with market expectations and indicates a gradual rise in prices compared to previous months. The main drivers of inflation include rising energy costs, housing expenses, and food prices, which comprise a significant portion of the American consumer basket.

Financial Market Reaction

The news of rising inflation immediately impacted global financial markets. The Dollar Index (DXY), which reflects the value of the US currency against a basket of other major currencies, sharply declined. This led to increased interest in assets traditionally considered inflation hedges.

Gold prices, historically seen as a "safe haven" during periods of economic instability, jumped 2.5% in a day, reaching record highs over the past six months. At the time of writing, gold was priced at $2,726.56 per troy ounce. Bitcoin, a digital currency often viewed as a store of value, rose by 4.8%, reaching $102,769. During the day, the cryptocurrency peaked at $109,299 and dropped to a low of $99,539.

Causes and Consequences

Analysts point out that the rise in inflation is driven by a combination of factors:

  1. Rising energy prices. Demand for oil and gas remains high, particularly during the winter season.
  2. Food inflation. Weather conditions and supply chain disruptions have affected the prices of essential food products.
  3. Increased housing costs. The US real estate market continues to show high growth rates.

The rise in inflation may prompt the Federal Reserve (Fed) to refrain from cutting interest rates in the short term. This could significantly impact loans, mortgages, and business investments.

What to Expect Next?

Experts are divided on the future trajectory of inflation. Some believe that the Fed’s measures to curb inflation will gradually take effect in the first half of 2025. Others argue that structural factors, such as high energy costs and supply chain tensions, may sustain elevated prices for an extended period.

For American consumers and investors, it is essential to remain vigilant and consider alternative tools to preserve the purchasing power of their assets. Gold, cryptocurrencies, and real estate remain key options for those seeking to safeguard their finances in an environment of rising inflation.
