The issue of lawful money is baffling to the many and over-stood by the few largely because of poor teaching methods. Mr. Merrill's approach was clear and enlightening, to-the-point and deserving of immediate transcription.

The importance of the question accelerates in the face of global money-printing, which is also accelerating. Since the start of the economic meltdown five years ago, the balance sheets of the world’s central banks have been growing at a frantic pace.
The Federal Reserve's latest easing program may be nicknamed "QE Infinity" on Wall Street, but it's having a very limited effect on the markets and economy so far.
This is a true labyrinth in the creation of monetary instruments and the deceit that the elite go through to make it and use it. While you may not think this is important or that you can do anything about it, please understand that just us understand
A fascinating and instructive speech today on monetary policy from Ben Bernanke.
Iranian Currency Falls 17% in One Day

Great paragraph here from Ben Bernanke from his speech this afternoon.
My topic today is "Five Questions about the Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy." I have used a question-and-answer format in talks before, and I know from much experience that people are eager to know more about the Federal Reserve, what we do, and

Last week I asked two libertarian economists why central banks and most mainstream economists are against deflation and in favor of inflation. They essentially said what the brilliant article below says: that the masses want their pay to increase,
MONEY FOR NOTHING is an independent, non-partisan documentary film that examines the Federal Reserve from the inside out - in a critical yet balanced way.
Lindsey said that with the Fed purchasing at least $40 billion a month in mortgage debt through QE3, “they are buying the entire deficit.”
Readers may know the Chicago Fed best for its president: arguably the greatest dove in the history of central banking, Charles Evans, for whom QEternity is so insufficient, it is just the beginning, and he is already looking forward to QEternityͩ
Since it is now quite clear that despite calling for even endless-er QE, the uberdovish Chicago Fed, and by implication the entire FOMC, is still clueless about the two most critical processes of modern fiat-based economics...
QE3 has barely even started and some folks on Wall Street are already clamoring for QE4.
