Excellent video, and I totally agree. Friedman was obviously carrying water for the FED and its criminal bankers. Beyond all the technical jargon, he was selling their myth of "central banking." Rothbard refused to do this and was ostracized for it. Rothbard was not only a superior economist, but he was a better man as well.

@mzmaj7 I think he means the first quotation in the video from freebanking(dot)org/2011/07/28

@tonidepoli Could you be a little more specific? (who are you? which quotation? etc.)
-
Steve Keen blows them both out of the water.

@synestheticmonotony What was that joke about?
-
@RKAddict101 That Rothbard would want to be a professor at UC Berkeley. I know he didn't say Berkeley, but that is the implication; It's kind of an economics inside joke. It's akin to saying that George W. Bush's aspiration is to be the chief executive of the ACLU.

A listener alerted me to this, so I listened a bit. The "quotation" of my words (they can be read at Free Banking dot org) is, to put it gently, rather freely edited, while the context surrounding them (including that for my blog's title) is neglected altogether. But then, this is to be expected, as Joe is nothing if not a consistent Rothbardian.

@synestheticmonotony I will let Friedman off not knowing what was happening on the ground in the US economy at the end of his life

@1:20 I like how he had to turn the page to read "And Milton Friedman".
