  • Federal Reserve & Bank of England

    There is a large case against the Fed, it's excess credit creation has led to bubbles, they burst, which lead us to painful times. My question is this the same case for Britain and the Bank of England? Our property bubble has been massive and has started to pop, I'm not actually sure if it's...

  • Demand Destruction = Poor Choice of Words

    The term "Demand Destruction" strikes me as a bit absurd. For example, let's say Bob & Joe are going to make a simple trade. Bob produces apples and Joe gives haircuts. The terms of the trade are 10 apples for 1 haircut. Bob's supply of 10 apples are also his demand . Without the...

  • Inflation vs. Recession

    I have listened to many financial "experts" and economists on television (mainly on CNBC) espouse their opinions on how to "fix" the economy, and one central theme always underlines the discussions: that recession must be avoided at all costs. I do not understand this. Rather, the...

  • Inflation "Targeting"

    What if the Fed set a goal for themselves to contain inflation at 3%? Let's assume (and this is a huge assumption) that government can control its spending to the point where 3% inflation is maintained. Is this the ticket to success? Well let's see: Artificial booms would still exist. Businessmen...

  • Why does my economics professor say deflation is a bad thing?

    As far as I can tell, his argument centered around that if prices did not rise (due to inflation), but instead fell (due to deflation), than employers would need to cut wages. This would cause mass unemployment, as workers would be fired. Another argument he had was that there was mass deflation during...

  • Hoarding: Causes and Consequences

    I was having a look at "What Has Government Done to Our Money" by Rothbard, and got thinking about the problem of hoarding, or increasing one's cash balances. This may be relevant in the current economic climate if people are losing faith in the banking system and yet trying to rebuild...

  • Solidarity, Somalia, and defending Hope.

    I would like to approach the topic of stateless Somalia and how we could allow this opportunity to pass us by. Many times I have heard both anarchists and our critics refer to the stateless nation of Somalia as an example of anarchy in action. Now we must recall that the situation in Somalia is not one...
