Ruling Without a Believable Rationale

Ruling Without a Believable Rationale

The head of the Chicago Fed calls for inflation (“much more accommodation than we’ve put in place” so that “that the amount of excess savings that is taking place relative to investment is lowered”). One hundred percent (so far as I can tell) of the 175 comments at the WSJ’s report blast him for fallacious and dangerous thinking. Are Fed officials the only people who don’t get it?

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
