  • thanks.

  • Why is Douglas always shaking when he speaks?

  • Fed doesn't dictate the fed funds rate, they target it through open market operations. Set the target at 0-.25, and if the rate starts to approach .25 they buy bonds to increase price and lower yields.

    Speaker also misses the very real point that one man's borrowing requires another man's savings, at least if you want the borrowing to be anything but expansion of the nominal money supply.

  • There can be negative interest rates, in fact, we have them now. Whenever the interest rate falls below the rate of inflation, real interest rates are negative. If anyone reads this and thinks the real inflation rate is below 25 basis points, please call me, I have a slightly used bridge for sale, not to mention ocean front property in Montana I want to get rid of.

  • i think douglas french is actually a really good speaker, he makes the topic really easy to understand. But I agree that he needs to exercise and lose some weight because he looks a little chubby.

  • @jonnyy40 All the signs point to being nervous. Shaking, short breath, red face, watering eyes. Not a comfortable public speaker

  • @peterrehak1 He should consult his doctor for a check up and if all is well,start slowly from there.Maybe there is something else in the background as evidenced by the shaking but being that short of breath while speaking is not a good sign.

  • @jonnyy40 please pay doug some presentation course and 1 year pass to gym, u will do a great leap forward in advancing austrian cause

  • Doug French is a heart attack waiting to happen

  • so easy to understand.
