I enjoyed working with Grieg on this one. And, boy, has Goat excelled himself.
As always, readers of this letter get it first.
Enjoy!
And if you do enjoy it, please share, comment - all that stuff
Music is by Edvard Grieg, played, recorded and mixed by Wayne McIntyre.
The video was shot (in one take) at Red Creative (many thanks, as always, Andy). Video is by Goat and a lot of AI.
If you enjoyed this, you can always

Other bits and bobs
Have you got your copy of The Secret History of Gold yet? Amazon is now running an offer. Check it out.
Lots of nice reviews and comments, especially for the audiobook. “Destined to be a classic,” Moneyweek; “eye-popping,” the Telegraph; “just extraordinary,” my Mum.
I have started a WhatsApp Channel, if you want to watch and swap songs on there.
Lyrics
Printing just a little bit little bit little bit
Printing just a little bit of money here and there
Running up a deficit, deficit, what of it?
Running up a deficit for who on earth will care?
Nobody will notice it notice it notice it
Nobody will notice it so unaware
House prices are getting lit getting getting lit
House prices are getting lit getting lit yeah
Stock and shares a bull market bull market bull market
We should speculate in it, we’ll all be millionaires
Everybody’s getting rich quite legit so legit
It is all a counterfeit a counterfeit beware
Cantillon effect of it fect of it fect of it
Young and poor to take a hit some fall into welfare
Can’t afford a property property property
Do not start a family they’re starting to despair
Population shrinks shrinks a bit shrinks a bit
Immigrants replacing it from who knows where
So much inequality quality quality
Goosing the economy no laissez faire
More and more on benefits benefits benefits
So many on benefits now fraud is everywhere
Who is going to pay for it pay for it
Who is going to pay for it, to pay for this affair?
Taxes rise it to cover it cover it smother it
Try to fly away from it people running scared
Can’t control the deficit money pit money pit
State is now a money pit especially healthcare
Print a little more of it more cannot quit cannot quit
Print a little more of it devil may care
Trying to save the currency bond market crashing it
Short sellers are coining it crime is a nightmare
Everyone’s to blame for it poor and rich hypocrites
Foreigners to blame for it rioting flares
Till there’s nothing left of it left of it
There is nothing left of it left of it
Chaos
Chaos
Printing lots of money is not working any more
Chaos
Chaos
Printing lots of money is not working any more
Chaos
Chaos
There’s nothing left it’s it’s …
Gone
Until next time,
Dominic
