Bernanke’s Defense of Fed Monetary Policy Is Utter Nonsense (Video)

Mainstream economists continue to defend and even praise Ben Bernanke’s response to the 2008 financial crisis.

The Fed Will Be the Last to Know We’re in a Recession (Video)

Jim Rickards agrees with Peter Schiff – the United States is already in a recession.

Central Banks Are Trapped in a Loop of Radical Intervention (Video)
