Central Banks, No Jurisdiction

Central Banks, No Jurisdiction

Gold Bugs Get their Answer (Insight): Gold bugs have for years contended that the price of gold has been manipulated by bullion banks in cooperation with the central banks. Based on the admission of Barrick’s attorney, it appears the central banks are indeed very much involved if only to assist in Barrick’s defense.

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.
