Season 3, episode 3 of our six-part series The New Germany, with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody, explores the German-American partnership and its deep historical roots. In particular, Germany's integration into the West after the Second World War and the joint defense against threats during the Cold War led to close political cooperation. In recent years, however, this seems to have been put to the test. What values characterize the relationship between Germany and the US? What challenges and changes have transatlantic relations faced so far? To what extent has cooperation changed given the global power struggle in the 21...

Freedom Reportage: Unbiased and Uncensored NewsThe Fed Cannot Go Bankrupt; However, It Can Bankrupt the CountryThe Fed Cannot Go Bankrupt
The article itself is a fairly straightforward explanation of how the Fed works, and provides several options that the Fed might pursue in a rising interest rate environment. The authors contend that the Fed has intervened itself into a corner, where losses probably will increase as the Fed raises rates. David Howden opined that this might not happen, as the Fed will roll over its mostly short-term, low-yielding investments into higher-earning assets, which will tend to protect its net interest income and provide an operating profit. Furthermore, the Fed is not required to...

John Maynard Keynes's General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money was the most influential economic idea of the twentieth century. But, argues Stephen Marglin, its radical implications were obscured by Keynes's lack of the mathematical tools necessary to argue convincingly that the problem was the market itself, as distinct from myriad sources of friction around its margins. ...

On August 15, 1971 President Nixon detached gold from the world’s monetary system and declared “We are all Keynesians now.” By so doing he set the stage for massive amounts of inflation not only in consumer prices but in stock and bond prices that served to siphon wealth from the middle class to the billionaire class to an extent even greater than the Robber Baron period of the 1920s. To con the world into using an intrinsically worthless dollar after 1971, the Nixon administration used the U.S. military to protect the power of the...

The Keynesian religion has been taught to every college graduate in America and Europe in recent decades. But that religion is based on falsehoods such as: “You can consume more than you produce and get rich by so doing.” Or, “capital has no time value.” Since getting rich without working is widely appealing to the human race, the very opportunistic President Nixon removed gold from money and declared “We are all Keynesians now.” By so doing, he paved the way for an American debt-funded spending orgy that only now is leading...

Vacuous VocationImperfections of Economic ReliefThe policy of Inflation and Monetary Theory have become very popular over the past century. It is acceptable among some politicians, philosophers, and even economists to abandon the notion of hard currency in pursuit of credit expansion and additional spending. What these people do not understand is the quantity theory of money that states that for every increase in the quantity of money, the value of the monetary unit decreases. MV=PQ. Furthermore, the policy of inflation, which is the increase in the money supply, is the most radical institution in society because it affects peoples' spendings, earnings, and...

Tom Woods Show, Archive 5Ep. 1449 The Boatload of Real-Life Examples Keynesians Have to Ignore Keynesians like to pretend that they're impartial scientists, following the evidence wherever it leads. We, meanwhile, are portrayed as too blinded by ideology to be worth listening to. So today I run through some very challenging episodes for Keynesians to explain, and we see who the real scientists are.

The Resistance Library from Ammo.comMilton Friedman: The Forgotten History of the Godfather of Conservative Libertarianism On today’s episode Dan and Sam discuss Milton Friedman, the Godfather of American conservative libertarianism. Friedman was, at a time when it was deeply unfashionable in official circles, a fierce critic of Keynesian economics. He was a leader of the second generation of libertarian economists to come out of the University of Chicago. Among the people recruited or mentored by him at the university include Thomas Sowell, Gary Becker, Robert Fogel and Robert Lucas, Jr. Friedman often used the jargon and methodology of Keynesians while rejecting their basic premises, coming to very different conclusions than his Keynesian counterparts. One of hi...

Acton LineAre we all Keynesians now? Why Lord Acton matters todayIn 1965, Milton Friedman was quoted by Time magazine for saying "We are all Keynesians now," referring to how pervasive the thoughts of economist John Maynard Keynes had become in society and economics. Known as the founding father of macroeconomics, Keynes's economic thought changed the way economics is approached, for better or for worse. How did his economic thought become so dominant and where has it left us? Victor Claar, professor of economics at Florida Gulf Coast University, explains. Afterwards, Acton's Dan Hugger joins the podcast to break down the life and thought of Lord Acton. John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, the...

Trey explains the what the deficit and the national debt are. Then Trey gives some historic context before asking Ken his opinion on the rising deficit under President Trump. Ken argues that Democrats, as Keynesians, would better manage the budget without Republicans. His basic argument is that Republicans never pay for needed spending. Trey pushes back and asks, if that is the case, why Democrats have never stopped deficit spending when they held office. Trey suggests that the...

SA For FAsThe Asset Allocator: We Are All Keynesians Now (Podcast)Germany’s finance minister has announced that Berlin could make 50 billion euros available for stimulus spending, following an announcement by the Bundesbank concerning recession risks. This podcast (6:06) argues that such an un-German move speaks profoundly to the near universal inhalation of the debt narcotic. When the next crisis occurs, debt will likely be deeply implicated. Advisors should therefore consider an allocation to gold, which is apt to strengthen in a financial crisis, as the only time-tested safeguard against high and rising inflation.Learn more about your ad choices.

The announcement of the new Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, represents a commitment to the status quo at the Fed. President Trump has nominated the person most likely to do exactly what Janet Yellen did for President Obama. Powell has voted in lock step with Janet Yellen for the entire time she has chaired the Fed. The only real difference between the two is that Yellen is a Democrat and Powell is a Republican, even though he was nominated to be on the Fed by President Obama.

Enemy of the State: Murray RothbardEpisode 40 - History of Economic Thought - 6 of 6 - Hayek and His Lamentable Contemporaries - Murray N RothbardMurray Rothbard died before he could write the third volume of his famous History of Economic Thought, which would cover the birth and development of the Austrian School, through the Keynesian Revolution and Chicago School. With this six-lecture course, however, the History of Economic Thought is complete.
6. Hayek and His Lamentable Contemporaries
The Nobel award to F.A. Hayek in 1974 went directly against the tradition of that prize to go only to mathematical forecasters, left-liberals, and government central planners. Not only was Hayek’s work pioneering, but it is also the only correct analysis of business cycles past, present and fu...

Enemy of the State: Murray RothbardEpisode 10 - Introduction to Economics Part 6 of 7 - Murray N RothbardIntroduction to Economics: A Private Seminar with Murray N. Rothbard
What causes business cycles? Keynesians say the cycles happen because the free market economy does not spend enough. Thus, pump spending in. Additionally, Keynesians say that animal spirits cause these cycles. Government must fix things. Nobody could understand Keynes' General Theory. What was simply obscure was wrongly considered deep.
Keynes linked national income with employment, by assuming wage rates are fixed downward. Although Keynes wrote of balanced budgets, there were only deficits.

Keynesians act as if government spending comes out of thin air.
Keynesians focuses far too much on consumption and demand rather than savings and investment.

Macro Musings with David Beckworth11 - Robert Hetzel on Milton Friedman, the Monetarist-Keynesian Debate, and the 2008 CrisisRobert Hetzel is a senior economist and research advisor at the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank where he has worked since 1975. He joins the show to discuss the rise of monetarism and how Milton Friedman, his dissertation advisor, shaped his thinking on macroeconomics. Monetarism challenged the conventional Keynesian consensus in the 1970s and caused Keynesians to reformulate their views into a new doctrine called, "New Keynesianism." However, in the wake of the Great Recession, "Old Keynesianism" has made a comeback. Hetzel pushes back against the Keynesian resurgence and explores other explanations of the 2008 crisis.

2015-07-3121 minCalculation and KnowledgeThe Central Fallacy of Keynesian EconomicsVolume 17, No. 3 (Fall 2014)ABSTRACT: Keynes’s theory of Aggregate Expenditures from the General Theory is examined and criticized. Keynes suggested numerous reasons why his marginal propensity to consume (MPC) might vary across individuals, over different time periods, and might be fundamentally heterogeneous in other respects, but assumed a constant MPC for tractability. He also argued that saving was a leakage (1920, pp. 19–20; 1936, pp. 81–85), but ignored the role of financial intermediation, which makes savings available to finance additional expenditure. More importantly, he ignored the injection of newly-created money which boosts both consumption and investment expenditure but does not depend on saving (Mises, 1...
