What Has Government Done to Our Money?

from Gold Standard · host Murray N. Rothbard

Rothbard shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the central bank, backed by government power, allows them to get away with it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard, he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and ferrets out all the interest groups involved. Narrated by Jeff Riggenbach. Includes "The Case for a 100% Gold Dollar" by Murray N. Rothbard. This audiobook is also available on iTunes and Google Play.
