Walter,
Who is your favorite economist to follow on US Monetary policy?
I once followed Doug Casey but found his views self serving.
He had no reply when asked to explain deflation vs inflation ( trillions of dollars created) during the Obama years. Why didn’t gold sky rocket or hyper inflation?
Please don’t misunderstand, I love Doug’s views and respect him. His writing freed my mind from the socialist trap. His books like “Speculator” are great too.
Best Regards, S

Dear S:
My favorite monetary economists are Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Guido Hulsmann, Joe Salerno and Bill Barnett. I am a biiiiig fan of Doug Casey’s. I don’t think he has a self-serving bone in his body. He is all about promoting libertarianism and good economics.
Best regards,
Walter
