I ran a series of posts called "Paul Krugman is a douche-bag" last year, which of course still applies. <br /><br />Also, on the list of things that people should avoid when discussing the problems with central banks, there is one important point to add :<br /><br />Web of Debt, by Ellen Brown<br /><br />This book, hyped as it is, is junk. The proposed solution is to have the government print any money it needs - and even worse - this is said to not be inflationary. From the woman who claims that Weimar Germany had hyperinflation not because of money printing, but because of foreign currency speculation ....<br /><br />Anyways, like the blog - busy reading HHH's "Democracy - the god that failed" but there is much to say on that book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-55349012956355624902009-07-06T09:43:47.743-07:002009-07-06T09:43:47.743-07:00The primary argument against the Federal Reserve i...The primary argument against the Federal Reserve is that it is a price-fixing cartel. Interest rates are literally the price of work in the future, compared to the price of work in the present. By tampering with interest rates, the Federal Reserve makes it difficult to make rational economic decisions and plan for the future.<br /><br />Inflation steals the savings of productive workers. The beneficiaries are financial industry insiders, who get to print and spend brand new money.<br /><br />The US monetary system is incredibly complicated. It's set up this way on purpose, to allow big abuses to occur without people noticing the scam.FSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903396202330950362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-45800551568623150232009-07-05T21:21:06.368-07:002009-07-05T21:21:06.368-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860284208273318324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-71916226148994664842009-07-05T14:59:51.598-07:002009-07-05T14:59:51.598-07:00Contrary to libertarian-foisted myth, Libertariani...Contrary to libertarian-foisted myth, Libertarianism is not synonymous with Liberty or being intellectual, I mean, how hard is it to follow a script and pigeonhole everyone who doesn't conform to your rote ideological norms as being antithetical to liberty.<br /><br />Secondly, if you believe government enforced, private monopoly control of the money supply issued as debt, is pro-freedom and exemplary of private enterprise then one has to wonder why you bothered to bring the subject up unless your intent was to see if you could pigeonhole people who would dare to bulk at your preconceived notions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-70552662133335695212009-07-05T14:59:32.448-07:002009-07-05T14:59:32.448-07:00(correction of the previous comment)

Profits are good. <br /><br />Ideas matter, those who refuse to study and think for themselves are condemned to be lead by propaganda.Marek K Nowakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266994413723107589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-52176707778347859592009-07-05T09:08:47.112-07:002009-07-05T09:08:47.112-07:00There are a plethora of reasons I'm against th...There are a plethora of reasons I'm against the Fed, it being a private, for profit institution and the issuance of debt as money are just two. But what I really object to is the Johnny come lately, libertarian ideological whore's attempt to hijack liberty as their own and in the process, drag every freedom loving American into yet another ideological conformist, scripted thought, black hole. I hate ideologues with a passion, I don't need your damn label and I damn sure don't appreciate your attempts to hang it on me by hijacking liberty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-21615625235183936152009-07-04T14:58:13.157-07:002009-07-04T14:58:13.157-07:00So, I'm curious, why are you against the FED t...So, I'm curious, why are you against the FED then?Marek K Nowakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266994413723107589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300664246063817921.post-68765292477604541092009-07-04T14:55:24.449-07:002009-07-04T14:55:24.449-07:00I'm against the Fed and I'm neither one of...I'm against the Fed and I'm neither one of the two brain dead sheep you chose to list as the only options.
