The Price of Time
Jeff and Edward Chancellor discuss The Price of Time and delve into the all-important topic of market-set interest rates as an important indicator of a healthy society, and why manipulating them is so harmful. The current system isn't working, so what can be done?
From the Publisher January–February 2023

Laffer and Domitrovic present a comprehensive history of income tax rates and their effects on the economy from World War I to the present, and they cover not only federal taxes but also taxation at the state and local levels.
The End of Monetary Hedonism

Or do these twin forces actually distort the economy, misallocate resources, and degrade us as people? These are the fundamental questions that Jeff addresses.
