Last edit: January 25, 2013, 04:11:30 PM by flix #2 His father Milton was one of the first to envision a mathematical "monetary rule" which would make central bankers unnecessary. ...and of course his son Patri Friedman is the founder of the Seasteading Institute.



His book (written 40 years ago) also has a an entire chapter called "The Market for Money" in which he advocates for private currencies.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

Unlike our heavily over-regulated fiat trash based financial markets. Oh wait, S&L crisis, dotcom bubble/crash, housing bubble/crash, bond bubble/crash.



And Madoff, plus MF Global and LIBOR, etc. etc. etc.



Can't you go be a blithering statist in some other thread?

Not really in anyone's defense here, but the housing bubble crash was caused due to a lack in regulation rather than over-regulation. A lot of people at a lot of banks and firms were doing things that should have never been allowed even if just viewed from a common sense perspective.



Not that I'm a bank lover, but I wouldn't give (at least) the housing bubble to the over-regulation side.

There is no such thing as an unregulated market. At the very least a market is always regulated by it's consumption and all a free market is is strictly just that, without any monopoly on violence meddling.

Not true at all. That bubble happened precisely because of regulation. Banks were practically forced to lower lending standards by Freddie and Fannie, not to mention the FED key interest rate affected mortgage rates to get artificially low enabling many to borrow who couldn't afford it. All Wall Street did was feed upon this circle and meet a demand that was created by the government and no one else. It's called moral hazard, look it up. Not true at all.

It had more to do with risky and (quite frankly) idiotic investment practices due to deregulation in commercial and investment banking through the eighties and nineties (Graham-Leach-Bliley, MCA, and Garn-St. Germain in particular). Banks were lending to people who should not have been eligible for borrowing, and their mortgages were combined and shifted around into so many different convoluted securities and investments that no one truly knew the extent of what they were investing in.



The banks setting lower standards weren't doing it because they were victims. They were doing it to get what they could out of the loans before they passed it off to be someone else's problem. There's only so far you can pass the buck before it crumbles.

All key causes of the business cycle and its latest iteration. None result of "unregulated" markets, but rather of regulations designed to give banks special privilege.



Read about regulatory capture please...



Not to mention the entire response to the bust: bailouts, QE, ZIRP... All designed to prevent liquidation of bad debt, save the banks and screw savers, Main st and taxpayers.



But go on believing that politicians and regulators are your friends....
