Planet Ponzi

Planet Ponzi

“The quantitative easing program is like a giant roach motel with a big welcome sign.”  So says fund manager Mark Feierstein, author of Planet Ponzi, in this short video interview. Although no Austrian, Feierstein has insightful things to say about the U.S. government’s lying statistics and the dire prospects for a world awash in Fed-generated debt. He also is not afraid to use the “D” word, as in Italy and Spain, with negative economic growth and 28% and 55% youth unemployment respectively, are in a depression

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.
