This video claims (NOT inclusive): "The government doing nothing causes booms and busts""The reason the great depression happened was because of Andrew Jacksons hatred for central banks, and that the government did not take absolute control of the situation" "Getting off the gold standard was a heroic move" "Food prices dropping due to excess is a sign of market weakness" "The stock market crash and the great depression were not the same thing" "Margin buying was not nearly enough stimulation to fix the economy" "Deflation is much worse than inflation" All I can say is.. Jesus christ, these kids don't stand a chance in these hell holes. It's no wonder we have such an economically illiterate populace.- 3 replies

Hello, folks! I have recently started a YouTube channel wherein I help educate and entertain others on the best practices of precious metals investment with a focus on silver! I've uploaded tons of free resources to consider on my website, www.TTcoins.com/resources , and will be uploading 1-2 videos per week with regards to precious metals and preserving freedom. My latest and greatest presentation is titled "What's the BEST kind of Silver to Buy?" - I'd love to hear your honest thoughts, feedback and critique of the presentation. I sincerely hope you find the information valuable; if so, please subscribe and support a fellow Liberty-lover! You can click THIS LINK to subscribe to my channel instantly.

Well, this is depressing. The Bank of England openly admitting it wants to curb zero inflation. Up is down and black is white again. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/feb/12/bank-of-england-warning-over-impending-interest-rate-rise "Britain is sliding towards its first bout of negative inflation in more than half a century, the Bank of England has said, but strong economic growth should stave off the threat of a deflationary spiral. The slump in oil prices and falling food prices is likely to push inflation to zero in the second and third quarters of 2015, probably dipping into negative territory for one or two months this spring, the Bank said in its February inflation report." -
While reading through MESwPM I noticed that Rothbards definition of inflation differs significantly from Mises's. Rothbard's- The process of issuing pseudo warehouse receipts or, more exactly, the process of issuing money beyond any increase in the stock of specie, may be called inflation. Mises- In theoretical investigation there is only one meaning that can rationally be attached to the expression Inflation: an increase in the quantity of money (in the broader sense of the term, so as to include fiduciary media as well), that is not offset by a corresponding increase in the need for money (again in the broader sense of the term), so that a fall in the objective exchange-value of money must occur. How did Rothbard deviate from Mises? I find it very strange because usually Rothbard is seen as expanding on Mises but here he has changed his work. I think that both definitions have different ramifications on ABCT but I could be wrong. What does everyone else think?

a) I got into a discussion with my brother about deflation. He thinks that deflation would lead to there being little capital investments going on. How do I show that deflation will lead to more capital investments? b) There are 3 definitions for inflation that I'm aware of: 1) increase in prices 2) increase in money supply 3) borrower is favored over the lender. I like 3), my brother likes 1), and Austrians like 2). Which is the best? Also, I believe that deflation should have the opposite definition as inflation (so if 2) was good, would deflation be a decrease in the money supply? **** Also, there is a youtube video I like called 'deflation is normal' where the speaker assumes a society with a FIXED amount of money, so I don't know how the money supply can be altered) Also (these requests are starting to pile up) could someone explain what is bad about using definition 3)? Thanks a lot.
