Rothbard’s America’s Great Depression, Chapter Six

This chapter is short, but really needs a little supplement from Rothbard’s other writings to really “get it.”

Don’t worry, I got your back. In the video, I identify two more passages that help explain why the goal of “stable prices” is counterproductive. They’re from Man, Economy, and State and Making Economic Sense.
