I'm glad you are studying Ron and more importantly, Austrian economics. This is a good for a 'straight to the point' breakdown of free market interest rates. Keep posting such useful information for the uneducated. Nice synopsis. I’m glad you are studying Ron and more importantly, Austrian economics.

He even admitted that in an interview. But, he mistakenly believe that crony capitalism and capitalism are the same thing. They are not. The federal reserve is one of the sources of crony capitalism. Well connected (to the government) businesses get the government to cover losses and to eradicate competition. All these billions of dollars being handed out cannot exist without the fed. Can you imagine if the government came to you last fall and demanded 50,000 from you so they could hand out billions to the banks? Since the government doesn't have any money, and all it gives out it must take from somewhere, it ends up taking the money in the form of printing more dollars. Printing more dollars makes each one in existence (the ones you have in your pocket) worth less. So the fed and all its money creation is just another way of taxing you that you won't notice. Capitalism is when business competes with other businesses on a level playing field with laws that prevent fraud and uphold contracts. Capitalism creates wealth and makes us all better off. Crony capitalism is when businesses use the power of the government to steal from other businesses or the people. Crony capitalism makes most of us worse off- with the exception of the thieves. They do quite well. There is a BIG difference Mr. Moore. You cannot expect the state to stamp out crony capitalism because the state caused and benefits from crony capitalism. If you get the diagnosis wrong, then you can't possible get the solution right. And thanks Mr. Petersen. Nice article.

Dr. Paul eloquently states the facts without letting emotion take control. The facts are the facts, and it seems that A LOT of the cause for our financial distraught has been brought about by Big Government, and in turn The Fed. Very well said, and clearly written.
