Chinese Authorities to Stop Economic Cleansing
Austrian Business Cycle Theory tells us that recessions are an indication an economy is healing. Booms created by government printing presses and fiscal interventions will be cleansed by downward reset of asset prices and labor misappropriation will be righted by rising unemployment. Murray Rothbard wrote in America’s Great Depression, “The adjustment process consists in rapid liquidation of the wasteful investments. Some of these will be abandoned...

A European Fannie/Freddie?
A bad ideaPublished in Housing Finance International Journal.The U.S. national housing finance market is uniquely dominated by two government mortgage companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They do exactly the same thing, creating mortgage-backed securities that are de facto government-guaranteed. They are both completely dependent on the credit support of the U.S. Treasury, and thus dependent on American taxpayers. Both went broke in 2008, and...
