The Money Supply, the Iran War, and the Dollar

The Money Supply, the Iran War, and the Dollar

I recently joined Lena Petrova on the World Affairs in Context podcast to discuss the Austrian Money Supply measure (i.e., the Rothbard-Salerno measure), and how easy money drives price increases. Plus we discuss other threats to the standard of living both in the US and the world, including the Iran War and runaway federal spending and debt. For the latest mises.org report on the money supply, see “Money-Supply Growth in 2026 Rises to Multi-Year High as the Fed Pumps New QE.”

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.
