No response yet, but George Selgin did respond in a comment there. George is a "free banking" advocate and a fellow at the CATO institute:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Selgin<br /><br />You can see him in the media sometimes (CNBC, etc). Here was what he had to say about the video:<br /><br />"Yes, the video is mostly tin foil stuff–albeit very slick tin foil stuff. The nonsense in it is made all the more dangerous because some truth is blended in as well.<br /><br />And I made it through the whole thing, though it pained me to do so."<br /><br />http://marketmonetarist.com/2013/10/19/more-silliness-from-the-tin-foil-hat-austrians/#comment-28467<br /><br />I posted a link to your page too, but he didn't give his opinion there (relax, I didn't accuse you of being a tin-foil-hatter :D)<br /><br />But perhaps you can ask George a question about your theories. It'd certainly be one worth getting I think.Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892824566694270102.post-79155579292252599882013-10-24T01:05:52.301-07:002013-10-24T01:05:52.301-07:00Thanks Tom!

When I see this guy, or Cullen, or Krugman go for insults instead of attacking the meat of the argument I think it is because they can't counter the argument. Currencies really do fail. To try to say this is like predicting that "the end of the world" is just wrong. This attitude is why few people bother to understand how currencies fail.Vincent Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502618776820144289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892824566694270102.post-44301096282419425252013-10-23T15:47:49.639-07:002013-10-23T15:47:49.639-07:00Hi Vincent,

He mentions "hyperinflation" in this one, so I thought I'd give you a heads up:<br /><br />http://marketmonetarist.com/2013/10/19/more-silliness-from-the-tin-foil-hat-austrians/Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892824566694270102.post-88987572098988122792013-10-21T22:13:28.843-07:002013-10-21T22:13:28.843-07:00Please do continue to keep us updated on the numbe...Please do continue to keep us updated on the numbers :) Will be interesting to see whether the recent shutdown has any circumstantial correlation to the rate of increase/decrease.
