Recent tensions between Fed Chair Jerome Powell and former President Trump have ignited fresh controversy: Trump publicly accused Powell of “tank­ing the economy” and threatening America’s recovery — escalating the spotlight on central bank policy. 

But is anyone asking… do we even need a central bank in the first place? We are. 

Tonight at 7 pm ET, ZeroHedge will host and Rebel Capitalist founder George Gammon will moderate: Mises Institute senior fellow Bob Murphy against George Mason University researcher David Beckworth (Fed reformist).

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.
