This excellent article by Austrian theory economist Frank Shostak appeared Friday on Mises.org. — JH Bernanke Loosens Up December 21, 2012 On Wednesday December 12, 2012 Fed policy makers announced that they will boost their main stimulus tool by adding $45 billion of monthly Treasury purchases to an existing program to buy $40 [...] Much of what we see in recent economic growth is caused by one thing: cheap money and credit. This is obvious as we look at two important economic drivers: autos and homes.

Yet the Fed doesn’t realize that and with the economy stagnating and unemployment climbing, it is likely that they will persist with more of the same despite their failures. The manufacturing reports coming [...] This article is from Michael Pollaro’s The Contrarian Take, the best blog on money supply. Michael measures True (“Austrian”) Money Supply (TMS) each month as the data comes out and provides meaningful measures and interpretations of the data.

I very much enjoy Shostak’s writing and have [...] In an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal’s “Numbers Guy” column, it was pointed out that maybe the government’s reporting of price inflation is skewed to favor the government. Shocking. He notes that the government keeps fiddling with its methodology: According to one rogue economist, John Williams at Shadow Government Statistics, if we still calculated inflation the [...] I want to follow up on several things I mentioned yesterday, mainly the state of banks and credit in America.
