Subject: Two questions
Dear Walter, I hope this mail finds you well. I have two questions, if you have the time I would love to know your thoughts:
1- Why is it that Rothbard says that at any given time the amount of money is the optimum amount? I do understand that prices accommodate. But at the same time the increase or decrease of the money supply affects interest rates, and therefore investment (thereby causing business cycles). Is Rothbard’s view a static view of the money supply and prices in general, while Business Cycle Theory integrates a dynamic view of money supply and its impact on interest rates in particular?
2- What is your view on Bitcoin?
Best, A
Dear A: Instead of answering either in detail, I hope and trust you won’t mind that I send you what I’ve published on these two topics instead.
