More on Cyprus and Europe
Gordon T. Long and John Rubino discuss the Cyprus crisis. Takeaway line: “Almost anything can push us over the edge.”
Reality Cannot Be Ignored Much Longer
John Rubino explains how our current government operates: A currency that holds its value over long periods of time is nice but restrictive, because it limits a government’s ability to fight multiple wars and buy votes with generous social programs. So every government eventually resorts to monetary inflation, which is a combination of theft and [...]
Common Sense Video — How Unsound Money Destroys Civilizations
The importance of money, sound money, is not well understood. Ludwig von Mises understood and he commented a century ago on its importance to liberty: It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties [...]

Some have even spoken of totalitarianism as, if not his immediate goal, the ultimate goal. We have heard him proclaim that he cannot wait on [...]

Back To Capitalism
