Ludwig von Mises Institute TIME magazine defends the Fed by falling into the Keynesian fallacies

After being urging to do so by several readers, I finally read Ron Paul's End the Fed. I was about to buy it for the Kindle I got for Christmas, but when I got to work Monday morning there was a package in my mailbox from Gary Howard at Paul's Campaign for Liberty with two copies of the book.
Ludwig von Mises Institute "... the "deregulation" of the savings and loan system in particular and financial services in general expanded the moral hazard that is built into a fractional-reserve system. For all of the talk that the banking system needs to be re-regulated, one cannot have a wide-open financial system and a government backstop th...at keeps financial institutions from experiencing the full force of bad investment decisions."

In a politicized society, it seems to me that the true believers really don't have conversations as much as they deliver monologues of talking points. For example, a colleague of mine recently told me ...
Ludwig von Mises Institute "And yet, I would like to offer a contrary view — but not in the form of a big theory. Rather, consider some cases of cultural entrepreneurship that made a real difference by the same means through which every innovation comes about: risk taking, hard work, and marketing."

The culture is going to hell in a handbag, we've been told for hundreds of years, and the free market gets a large share of the blame. The observation stretches from Left to Right and everywhere in between. ...
Ludwig von Mises Institute It's so wonderful to have pieces like this unlocked from the IP prison. You are reading this thanks to long negotiations, but, in any case, here is Rothbard from the last years doing exceptional work.

Ludwig von Mises Institute "ADM's CEO, Andreas, doesn't seem to view our capitalist society through the same lens as most others. In one interview, he said, "There isn't one grain of anything in the world that is sold in a free market. Not one! The only place you see a free market is in the speeches of politicians. People who are not in the Midw...est do not understand that this is a socialist country.""

Ludwig von Mises Institute "If you don't think heavy regulation, elephantine bureaucracies, union rule and runaway spending amount to poison for an economy, take a gander at what decades of such socialist policies have done to Greece."

The whole crisis has a perfectly logical basis: Greece's budget deficit is more than four times higher than the European Union's 3% ceiling and stands at 12.7% of GDP. Its gross debt, at 112% of GDP, indicates it has more debt than productive output. And its socialist government has no credible plan...

Digital media — particularly "social" media like forums, wikis, blogs, and tweets — have forced all people, including intellectuals, to engage each other as never before in human history.
Ludwig von Mises Institute “On economic matters, he was seen as a way outside the mainstream,” University of Houston political scientist Richard Murray said. “His views were somewhat 19th century in the view of a lot of economists.” Well, they say history repeats itself, and suddenly Paul's “19th-century” thinking seems appealing to those suffer...ing through the first economic meltdown of the 21st century.

Communism would not survive politically, but it was Ludwig von Mises,
in his 1922 work Socialism, who demonstrated that any such society could not survive economically."

Ludwig von Mises Institute Faith and hope, that's what fractionalized banking is all about: faith that not everyone shows up for their money all at once and hope that the bank's loans are always paid back. ~Doug French
