How to Manipulate People with Interest Rates

Frank Shostak
Most experts agree that through the manipulation of short-term interest rates, the central bank by means of expectations regarding future interest rate policy, can also dictate the direction of long-term interest rates. In this way of thinking expectations regarding future short-term interest rates are instrumental in setting the long-term rates. (Note the long-term rates are an average of short-term rates in this way of thinking.) Given the s...

"Price Stability" Is a Trick — It Actually Ruins Wealth

Frank Shostak
There is almost complete unanimity among economists that the most important role of the central bank is to attain price level stability. It is held that price stability promotes economic growth and people’s well-being by increasing the efficiency of the market mechanism.

Myth: Gold Makes Boom-Bust Cycles Worse

Frank Shostak
According to some commentators on the gold standard, an increase in the supply of gold generates similar distortions that money out of “thin air” does. Let us start with a barter economy.

He exchanges his ten ounces of gold for various goods such as potatoes and tomatoes. Now p...

A Trade War Won’t Be Good for the Dollar

Peter Schiff
