Deposit insurance for Fractional Reserve banking system is like "..insuring the Titanic after it hit the iceberg." Great line. You have to hand it to Murray , what a great sense of humor!
When Rothbard spoke of "confidence" in the money system it was kind of funny to me because I remember getting the explantion of how the monetary sytem works in Macro in college during the early 90's and thinking "faith? that's it?".
LOL...there is a confidence obviously...but it's a "confidence game", with the confidence man being the Bernank and their mark the sheeple.

That's why I think Bernanke will be replaced. He doesn't inspire confidence or awe. He's very shaky. He seems nervous all the time.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Rothbard died before he ever got the rockstar-treatment like Ron Paul. I would have stood in line to get Murray's autograph.
