The majority of people, and certainly popular economists and politicians, constantly urge us to support government economic interventions, bailouts, and Federal Reserve monetary massages to “save us from another Great Depression.”

But what if their valiant brilliance is steadily drowning us in a sea of paper money and debt instead of energizing our economy? What if there are other schools of thought that show us a clear and proven path out of our economic trauma?

Enter Austrian Economics and the counter-intuitive power of freedom.

Freedom: yes, it is an amazing speech from Braveheart, but is it also the root of economic prosperity?

No! Freedom in the hands of greedy capitalist pigs who are willing to pillage and destroy the planet is our greatest enemy! Without the government to protect us we’re all screwed! -Samantha Statist

Well, yes, people can be greedy, and certainly capitalists have done harm to the planet; but you must ask yourself: who gave them that power? Was it the government and their apathy towards property rights? And specifically to finance: was it the government that mandated banks to lend massive quantities of money to people without financial aptitude and ability to repay? Was it the government that lowered interest rates so low that borrowing and spending money was as easy as breathing and as exciting as binge drinking in Atlantic City?

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans. -Ron Paul

If you have eyes and ears, you are painfully aware of our economic problems. How to solve them requires listening to the people who saw this coming—hint: there’s a dozen or so collected in the superb soon-to-be-released documentary The Bubble.
