In this clip from a longer talk titled "Mises, Keynes, Friedman, Laffer: The Austrian Perspective," Murray Rothbard compares the last recession before the New Deal with those occurring later. He argues that the government's inaction during pre-New Deal recessions hastened their recovery. Rothbard spoke at the 1983 Libertarian Party Presidential Nominating Convention.

  • @pipem4n Unless I'm mishearing him or being delusional, Rothbard says at 1:01 that the 1920-21 recession "was over in 9 months." But that recession lasted well over a year, from early 1920 to mid-1921.

    Don't misunderstand me. I admire Rothbard very much. I'm just wondering where he got his number from and how he arrived at it. Maybe he means 9 months counting from the date when the Harding government cut the budget, I don't know.

  • @UnderTheTunk

    strawman - he says over, very sevear recession.

  • Why does Rothbard say the Harding recession lasted only 9 months? It lasted from January 1920 to July 1921.

  • Thanks for uploading this. I've never heard Rothbard speak before.

  • Where's the whole thing?

  • holy shit ive never seen this one before
