Money and Banks

I am tired of hearing economists argue that government and the Fed should expand credit for the good of the economy.

Presented as part of the Mises Institute’s Brown Bag Seminar series on April 23, 1997 in Auburn, Alabama.

Only two things can save the Fed at this point. One is a bailout by the federal government. This recapitalization could be financed by taxes or by monetizing government debt in another blow to the value of the currency.

Consider what it means to live through our times in the light of economic understanding. Even in the face of calamity, there is no mystery, and hence fear is reduced.
