145. Ron Paul

Lew Rockwell garners updates from Ron Paul, the great libertarian Congressman, whose public life has inspired so many.

First we want to know the current state of Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill. But then, just who is the Congressman from the Bank of America? Can we expect the Fed to fight this audit in the courts? What’s the main benefit that will come from the audit? Did the financial crisis hurt or help this campaign? What will happen if prices really start to rise?

Obamacare is a disaster. Where will it end up? Can the doctor-patient relationship survive? What is the worst part of this Health Care Bill? Why is government health worse than government education? What can be expected from Medicare in the future? Will private practice be made illegal? What shocking thing did Obama admit? Can you really give thirty million additional people free medical care and reduce the deficit, too?

Will Paul’s sub-committee chairmanship be taken away from him? Are the claims about earmarks red herrings? Just what might happen if bank forces should attempt to remove Ron Paul from his positions?

144. The Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Video

Lew Rockwell interviews John Papola.

“Fear the Boom and Bust”: a Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Anthem, a seven and a half-minute YouTube about the business cycle, has garnered more than a million views in all languages, making it the most popular economic “document” in history. Building on Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, and the other great Austrian economists, this video has been a bombshell among young people all over the world. John Papola is the man who brought this educational landmark in Austrian economics to the screen.

What or who inspired John to create this? Was it really caused by Alan Greenspan? Why is it so appealing to such a wide range of people? What makes it such an effective educational device? Why do some things go viral? Why is it that an activist audience now exists? Was the 2009 Stimulus Package actually proof of systematic failure? What’s next for this talented creative director? Will Econstories.tv attack the “broken window” fallacy next, or the ideas of war?

Lew Rockwell draws it all out of this talented guest.
