"If I were Bernanke I would abolish the Fed and resign"

Those were the closing words of Jim Rogers on a lengthy interview broadcast today on Bloomberg News. While the entire discourse is worth watching, the first couple of minutes attacks the facade, the skewed employment numbers published by both the Fed and most of the banking-bureaucratic establishment; or in his words, "these are fraudulent numbers." [For the video, click here and look under the "Media" category on the right labeled: "Jim Rogers Says Bernanke Is `A Nut' for Cutting Rates"] Certainly a nice dose of reality to balance the foolish meanderings of the other Jim — Cramer that is.

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.
