How the decisions of one presidency changed the price of goods, energy, money and risk, and why Tuesday’s vote matters far beyond America
Follow the credit.
Cheaper oil\. Costlier living\.
A data centre can contribute to economic growth years before its investors receive an adequate return. A household’s bills fall due every month.

Factories surge. Investment retreats.
The financial machinery of desire, the unequal cost of sexually transmitted infections, and the uncomfortable evidence that should change how we invest in prevention
Regulation moved the lender
Prices arrive first
We have an oddly sentimental way of discussing entrepreneurship. We celebrate founders for creating something valuable, then sometimes treat their decision to sell it as a failure of character.
Why a $3.535 billion acquisition challenges the idea that cheaper artificial intelligence will automatically make financial intelligence cheaper.
From laundromats and self-service dog washes to rental properties, vending machines, digital products and investment portfolios: what the evidence actually says about buying financial freedom.
The AI boom is reaching a more demanding phase. Capability still matters, but the financial question is becoming unavoidable: how much economic value survives after the technology has been purchased, integrated, supervised and used?
From Yesteryear to the economics of unpaid work, household power and national prosperity.
Brazil, Mexico and Argentina face different problems. Latin America’s common challenge is turning economic advantages into prosperity that lasts.
Why growth is not reaching households—and what Europe could offer.
Financing the future requires a different financial system.

FINTECH SCB Insight · November 2026 · by Roberto Balbino
What I Invest In Now
On November 3, 2026, American voters gave Democrats the House and the Senate. Markets sold the result overnight and bought it back by breakfast; the bond market moved first.
After Mid Trump turns that night into decisions: the policies that can still become law under divided government, why the middle of the Treasury curve beats the long end, and a model portfolio built position by position, with the signals that would prove the author wrong.

General information and education, not individual investment, tax or legal advice. The model portfolio is illustrative. Capital is at risk.
FINTECH SCB Insight · October 2026 · by Roberto Balbino
How the AI Boom Became a Credit Cycle—and Who Will Hold the Loss
The debate over artificial intelligence is still argued as a stock-market question. The money has already moved somewhere else.
In 2026 the largest spenders on AI stopped paying for the build-out out of their own cash. In the first half of the year, capital expenditure at Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Oracle absorbed 96 percent of the cash their businesses generated. At Alphabet, Amazon and Oracle it now exceeds it. Their reported debt has more than doubled in less than two years, to about $496 billion. Another $1.2 trillion of leases, signed mostly for data centers not yet delivered, sits outside their balance sheets.
Off the Books follows the contracts. It looks at joint-venture bonds backed by residual value guarantees, vehicles that own the chips, loans secured on hardware that ages faster than the debt, and guarantees written by the chipmakers themselves. It identifies who holds the claims: life insurers and the annuities behind them, semi-liquid private credit funds, and the banks that lend to the lenders. These are the institutions least able to leave when the numbers turn.
The Insight tests its own argument against the strongest objections and sets out three paths to 2028. It also states in advance the evidence that would prove it wrong. It closes with practical guidance and a dashboard of indicators for savers, entrepreneurs, credit investors and policymakers.
Shareholders can sell in a second. The people financing the AI build-out cannot.
