Patrick Barron: Do Central Bankers Really Believe What They Say?
Our guest this week is Patrick Barron, a professor of economics and a student of global currency markets. Patrick and I dissect the Fed's big announcement this past week not to raise interest rates, and consider whether Janet Yellen and other central bankers really believe in what they're doing.
Is it all just to save themselves from the judgment of history, by kicking the can down the road? Have they read, or even considered, Austrian arguments on money and banking? Or are they simply so wedded to Keynesian orthodoxy that they literally don't know what else to do? And what type of precipitating events might spell the end of US dollar imperialism? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOd6eG48UKE
Rothbard shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the central bank, backed by government power, allows them to get away with it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard, he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and ferrets out all the interest groups involved.

Our returning guest this weekend is Łukasz Dominiak, a professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland, and also a former summer fellow at the Mises Institute. Jeff and Łukasz discuss the recent elections in Poland, as well as the street protests that you might not have heard about in western media.
There is actually something very different happening in Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, as compared to Western Europe. The media characterized its recent electrons as a triumph for the right-wing — dismissed as xenophobic nationalism in Poland and other European countries. But the truth as Łukasz explains is quite different: it's a strange mix of both left and right politics in a country that is not afraid to embrace its Catholic roots and its cultural identity.

Pricing is fundamental to business success — to generating transactions, to cash flow and to profitable operations. There’s a lot of uncertainty for entrepreneurs in the pricing process, and economics is a good source of clarity. In fact, Peter Klein tells us that economics used to be called price theory, recognizing this fundamental role of pricing in economic exchanges.
