Lew Rockwell by Scott Horton (5/5) on Antiwar Radio

Scott Horton Interviews Lew Rockwell
June 15th, 2008

Lew Rockwell discusses his recent talk at the Future of Freedom Foundation conference about modern wars' dependence on inflation by the Federal Reserve, how the Fed fueled WWI to help the Morgan empire, why governments prefer to debase a currency rather than tax or borrow, how the Fed not only inflates the currency but redistributes wealth from the poor to the politically-connected rich, creates the booms and busts of the business cycle, and makes the warfare state possible, the government's corruption of language to hide it's crimes, importance of Austrian economic thought and how all acts committed by the state would be crimes if carried out by regular citizens.

"public service" an euphemism for gorging at the public trough. Lew is one of my few heroes.
