How items are chosen Items come from official sources only: central banks, finance and commerce ministries, the Federal Register, and international institutions. Each was matched to a section by rule or by a model and then checked by hand before publishing. Titles are as the issuer published them; translations and one-line notes are ours. We link rather than reproduce.
Every chart is rebuilt from a public source and, where marked, checked against a figure the source itself published. Frameworks credited to Perry Mehrling (hierarchy of money), Zongyuan Zoe Liu (transaction cycle) and Laurence Wilse-Samson's Economic Statecraft Toolbox. Brad Setser is credited on the charts that use his work.
Balance of Power is a personal, non-commercial project by Laurence Wilse-Samson , not affiliated with any employer. It measures the past and reports others' published figures; it makes no forecasts. Each chart credits its source; source terms apply to the data.
