Irwin Schiff - 2001 speech over 9/11 and the economy. Part 3/6

[MachTwo1]

We should all be very gratefull that Peter and Andrew took pop's book here and revamped it and published it in it's current incarnation "How An Economy Grows And Why It Crashes" I read the book, it's an easy read and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It's a humorous little alegory just like the original Irwin displays here! Pick a copy up for yourself and one for your kids! Seriously!!

[MachTwo1]

Irwin is the last warrior from a better, vanished time in America! Thank God for YouTube to keep his fighting spirit going and thank God for his son Pete who got pop's mind, and fighting spirit, somewhat.

2:41 - 3:35

Waste is right.

5:54 - 6:03

So what they did...rather than be appalled at what was happening (we're losing our industrial base)...they rationalized its disappearance...and then little by little we developed this absolutely ludicrous claim...

...

6:21 - 6:37

"Consuming drives nothing!" Anybody can consume. Any idiot can consume. What's the great trick about that? What is hard is PRODUCING! It's production that creates consumption.

7:02 - 7:32

Funny.

If you search youtube for MISES INSTITUTE you can watch speeches by Peter Schiff and Ron Paul.

[hyylo]

hi

can someone tell me what book that is?

what is the name of the book Irwin Shiff is showing?

thank you

[GreenBlazerGolf]

"How an economy grows and why it doesn't"

It's a graphic novel, but you can't get it for less than $150.

Someone uploaded it to youtube frame by frame, so just search for it. I recommend turning the sound off cause listening to the dude read get's annoying.

[hyylo]

yea i found it. also have you been to the mises website. they have free lectures and presentations about how an economy works.

Ron Paul and Peter Schiff have done various speeches at the Mises institute.

[supergusano2]

It's probably either "kingdom of moltz" or "how an economy grows"

[RMT87]

It's called "How an Economy Grows and Why it Doesn't.

if you search the title on youtube you'll find a 1 hr 17 min vid for it.

[drakflyga]

US government might wanted to listen to this in 2001 and realize houses and stocks is not real wealth.

[seks03]
