More Keynesian Folly

More Keynesian Folly

I will be a guest today on Turning Hard Times into Good Times with Jay Taylor. The program is "Keynes Destroyed the West but Not Gold" and ‘airs’ 3-5 PM Eastern Time.

The promo describes my part as “Cochran will explain how Keynes' anti-free market interest rates are destroying life sustaining capitalism. To enable Keynesian interest rate policies and deficit spending, the free market for gold had to be destroyed so it would not constrict money "printing" and deficit spending stimulation advocated by Keynes” This is a follow up to the recent Mises Daily “Current Fed Policy: An Exercise in Keynesian Folly”.

Last week’s guest on the program was Mark Thornton discussing the risk of hyperinflation in Hyperinflation 2014 The End Game Begins. Mark begins at about 4 PM on this recorded version of that podcast. This and previous programs can be accessed at Jay Taylor Media or at the host Voice America Business.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
