Bob Hoye received his B.Sc in Geology, geophysics from the University of British Columbia.

Hoye has enjoyed a career in the markets while becoming a financial historian.  He discovered that there have been three “Tyrannical Centuries”, whereby an experiment in authoritarian government trends to totalitarian, war and rampant inflation. Lasting somewhat more than a hundred years, ours began around 1900 and is culminating with dislocating inflation and political conflict, inspiring reform. The first destroyed the magnificence of Rome in the Third Century. The next ran from about 1500 to the early 1600s.

Hoye has many published articles in the leading media and has addressed investment forums in many countries.
