Jeff Deist with Ron Paul on the 2016 Election and Why the Mainstream Media is Losing

In this interview with the Ron Paul Liberty Report, Jeff Deist takes a look at the mainstream media, the 2016 election, and why an economic bust cannot be avoided with just more government manipulation of the economy:

We’ve come to the end of this idea that we can resuscitate the patient with more of the same: more credit more debt, more money. What we need is more productivity. More actual production, more goods and services in the economy. I think it is the end of Keynesianism.

Deist also discusses Trump’s new administration appointments and the chances that anything, structurally, will change in Washington with the Trump administration.

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.
