Economist Nicolas Cachanosky specializes in the overlap between capital theory in traditional economics and the capitalization of cash flows in finance. He explains the relevance of these concepts to understanding the business cycle. Then, Nicolas and Bob have a friendly disagreement over Mises’ views on fractional reserve banking. The conversation closes with Nicolas’ view on central banking policy since the financial crisis of 2008.

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.
