- Statecraft in Search of a Vision.
- The Weekend That Changed The World: TIE Founder and Editor David Smick interviews Jeffrey Garten, author of the new book Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy, which argues that there are many parallels between August 1971 and August 2021. The currency move was only part of the story.

- Bretton Woods 1971-2021: The birth of the new age of modern markets.
- Nixon, the Dollar, and the Emerging New Money Revolution: The emergence of weightless globalization.
- 1977 and the Undermining of Fed Independence: Today the U.S. central bank's sense of a shared mission with the administration has been internalized.
- Oil and August 15th: An unintended consequence of the three days at Camp David: the complete reconstruction of the global petroleum system.
- The Reincarnation of John Connolly: Could Trump's crude, bullying global shocks play the same role as the Connally/Nixon shocks did in 1971?

- Gold, The Dollar, and What Comes Next: The greenback may be felled not by a pair of giants, but by a swarm of midgets.
- The Late 1990s Fatal Hubris: How the Camp David decisions produced policies that failed to recognize capitalism's intertemporal nature.
- The Case for Humility: The experts grapple with understanding inflation.
- What About the Risk Of a Bursting Asset Bubble?
- Is the Dollar In Trouble? If the dollar continues to deteriorate, and as east Asian countries peg their currencies to the Chinese currency to maintain exchange rate stability, the greenback could lose its key currency status by the end of the 2020s, just as it did in Europe in the 1970s.
- The Economic Profession's Artificial Narrative: The increasingly anachronistic capital versus labor debate.
- "Crypto" Is Losing: The issues are climate and trust. But the crypto community is fighting back.
