Video: Joseph Salerno Discusses the War on Cash

From the interview with the Financial Repression authority podcast:

“The only way they can do that [negative interest rate policy] is to lock people’s deposits into the banking system. That is where the war on cash comes in. They would love to restrict or even abolish the use of cash within the United States if they could. That means they would have to use deposits.  this is another way of propping up a very unsound and dangerously flawed banking system.”

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.
