Europe and Asia are awash with $13 trillion in negative yield sovereign and corporate bonds. Alan Greenspan says negative interest rates are coming to America.

Economist Bob Murphy joins Jeff Deist to make sense of the nonsensical world of negative interest rates.

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.
