" ...said before the Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee in 1939: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong...somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises....I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started....And an enormous debt to boot!"" Dalje o '38. "By the end of 1938, on the eve of World War II, the U.S. unemployment rate still hovered at just over 18 percent and was higher than it was in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first year in office. This occurred despite (or rather, because of) six years of unprecedented levels of government intervention into the U.S. economy. The American recovery was slower than in most European nations; by 1937 Great Britain's unemployment rate had declined to 10.3 percent." - short video The New Deal: History, Economics, and Law | Thomas E. Woods, Jr. Economic Cycles Before the Fed | Thomas E Woods, Jr. - http://mises.org/daily/5174/Life-with-the-Fed-Sunshine-and-Lollipops "The Fed wasn't our first central bank, it was our third. Secondly banking has been under the federal government's thumb since 1863 or so. Even before that the individual states had a system of charters that was in large part due to Jackson's economic policies." A History of Money and Banking in the United States" Murray Rothbard dispels of the idea that there really was a "Long Depression" (http://mises.org/books/historyofmoney.pdf pg 154-155). Industrial Production during that decade was done for a good number of years, but was higher at the end of the decade than at the beginning (I want to say the index numbers were 29 and 42 for the beginning and end of the decade respectively, but I don't remember off the top of my head). http://mises.org/media/4639 - The Fed's Dismal Record!!!!! http://mises.org/media.aspx?action=category&ID=114 http://mises.org/media/4639 http://mises.org/media/5705/A-Century-of-Failure-Why-Its-Time-to-Consider-Replacing-the-Fed

  10. In my case, I think, this was a crucial: look who goes in education today, see which of our generation came teachers... (often emphasized here, that would be the bottom 30% of students). In addition some cold facts about the school system have been helpful, too.
  11. Right, right, like Alan Chapman said, I can theoretically understand that there could be natural monopoly but I am wondering if it is practically possible in any bigger scale, globally is clearly impossible, continental also, in territories of today states.. maaaybe, maybe, but in my opinion highly unlikely. Probably you could have some dominant agency, but not a monopoly.
  12. I just had a thought, which I have posted on mises.org forums as well; probably people had similar or same arguments. Just wanna test it and make it very simple. If we as austrians know that monopoly in free markets is impossible, and of course today inefficient ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOBD6v8g1F4 The Development of the Theory of Monopoly Price: From Carl Menger to Vernon Mund (pdf) by Joseph T. Salerno, September 2003 Fear of Monopoly by Brad Edmonds, March 2001 What's Wrong with Monopoly (the game)? by Benjamin Powell, February 2004 The Question of the Cable Monopoly by D.W. MacKenzie, August 2003 The Development of the Theory of Monopoly Price: From Carl Menger to Vernon Mund (pdf) by Joseph T.

DiLorenzo, May 2011) , how is than state - a legal monopoly of force in given geographical area, gonna form again in a voluntary, free society and free markets? And how is it desirable? Monopoly can not and will not form in free market society, therefore state will not re-form.
  13. Right, I have noticed that to, lot of them look like civilian airplanes
  14. That is also a interesting point, but I think Americans are a long way from perceiving government as occupational force. That's kind of what are we doing here, isn't it... when they finally come to that conclusion, yes, this differences will not matter anymore.

It never occurs to him that the policies of high leverage and of gambling on inflated asset values would not happen systematically if government were not acting behind the scenes. Instead, he tells us that the only thing that can rescue a financial system is a new round of government regulations." He did have some "predictions", but you should also look at his suggestions from 2001. - lowering rates!?!? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9n4xrwD-LUQ/TMd4PEUilHI/AAAAAAAABOM/vMPNzEgpJaE/s1600/KrugmanFail.jpg Also "Contra Krugman", by Roger Garrison And of course http://www.krugmandebate.com/ And you can always put some Jon Stewart in there: J.S.
