Cheap Money, Gold, and the Federal Reserve Bank Policy

Cheap Money, Gold, and the Federal Reserve Bank Policy
Downloads

The present glut in the money markets, with excessively cheap money and its attendant evils and dangers to the credit structure of the country, is due to the concurrence of three main causes: 

  1. The unprecedented flow of gold to the United States.
  2. The current business reaction.
  3. Excessive Federal Reserve Bank earning assets, due to a feeling on the part of the Federal Reserve authorities that they owe it to their stockholders to earn expenses and dividends at all times.

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.
