Austrian Economists answer your questions
The great and the good from the world of Austrian Economics were recently on hand to answer questions at a Mises.tv event.
Questions from the floor:
- Is this the boom or is that massive pile of reserves evidence of Keynes ‘animals spirits’?
- What replaces a central bank system and is it realistic?
- How does all the derivatives impact what’s coming down the pike, and Dodd-Frank creates more demand for treasures – how does this affect your views.
- The Fed is levered 51:1 – how does this impact on interest rates
