“Dishonest Money”
“If every time we bring the results of the sweat of our brow to market, we are subject to an arbitrary assessment of their worth, either we are suffering from deliberate imposts on the part of the authorities, or we are partaking not in an entrepreneurial risk, but in a capricious lottery in which we…

“Dollar Reaches 15-Year Low Versus Yen”
“The dollar dropped to a 15-year low against the yen and the weakest in more than eight months against the euro amid growing expectations the Federal Reserve will expand credit easing to sustain the U.S. recovery.” Read more. “Dollar Reaches 15-Year Low Versus Yen on Fed; Euro Strengthens” Keith Jenkins and Yasuhiko Seki Businessweek, October…

“What’s Wrong with Fed Policy?”
“Investor reaction to Ben Bernanke’s apparent focus on price indices — jumping into the stock market when he hints that he may not raise rates, and jumping out when they suspect he will — is understandable.

“The Fed Is All Wrong About Inflation”

“Monetary Policy and the Business Cycle”
“From my view, I would welcome the day when the topic of this conference—”Money, Politics, and the Business Cycle”—would become obsolete. Not because there is no relation between money, politics, and the business cycle; there is. But I would welcome the day when we quit trying to use monetary policy to fine tune the economy…

“Which is Better: High or Low Inflation?”
“In addition to encouraging fiscal responsibility on the part of consumers, low but stable inflation (or even deflation) is also good for the long term economy, because it allows producers to know their costs. This predictability allows producers to generate reliable profits which will eventually result in a strong healthy economy. Inflation is bad for…

“Why is inflation bad?”
“Inflation is a process of continuous increase in the prices of most goods and services in a country. This does not necessarily mean that all prices increase. There may be some exceptions, such as computer prices which have actually declined in recent years. Inflation can therefore be described as a persistent general increase in prices.”

“Tea Partiers support audit of Federal Reserve”
“Though Republican Rep. Ron Paul told The Daily Caller last week that he was worried that “some people have slipped into the Tea Party who are awfully close to being part of the establishment,” on at least one particular anti-establishment issue close to the Texas congressman’s heart — auditing the Federal Reserve — Tea Party…

“Federal Reserve ‘Will Be Gone’ In 25 Years”
“A mere half-hour after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner praised the “necessary” and “very substantial” actions of the Bush and Obama administrations to “break the back of the financial crisis,” one of the world’s leading financial minds said Thursday that the United States is in the same economic predicament today as it was in 2007, predicting…
