Lecture 3: Rothbard on Money Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster

Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster Rothbard on Money Money is different than coal … What is true if the supply of coal rises? What is true if the supply of money rises? Is there a right amount of money? What if the money supply doubled? Are there economic interests “agitating” for a decline in the money supply? Is it wasteful to mine for gold and silver? What is the significance of a commodity as money? Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster

Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster Rothbard on Money What about counterfeiting money? Harms those with “real” money. Hard to do with commodity like gold. Easy to do with paper/fiat money. And, if the government has a monopoly? What has the government done to our money? We’ve forgotten that the name meant a weight. Gov’t force through “legal tender” laws. Now, gov’t can finance spending without raising taxes or borrowing funds! Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster

Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster The gold standard ends: the end of order the end of truth The gold standard and wartime. Suspensions to keep banks afloat & gov’t financing going. Wartime inflation only occurs in paper, not in gold!! For U.S. – Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War. Gold coins and paper circulated until 1933. This provided some limit on arbitrary money creation. Gold contracts (or, clauses) thwart government. Specify payment in $ equivalent of some amount of gold. FDR cancels all gold clauses; the case of the Halle Building. Money and Banking - Dr. D. Foster

Violators will be prosecuted!
