Watched every minute of it. LS was great.

I’d like for him to expound more on his ideas of competitive money markets. Would have liked to be on that trip he took down the Rhine with Milton Friedman.

[GeronL]

did he mention FR?

:p

Thought LS was Larry Sinclair

It was about all of my books, “Patriot’s History of the United States,” “American Entrepreneur,” “48 Liberal Lies About American History,” “Seven Events that Made America America,” and “Patriot’s History of the Modern World.”

Terrific picture. Thanks.

Well, it was indeed a trip. There were five Nobel Prize winners on that boat. I got next to Friedman and asked him how, if he supports freedom in every other endeavor, he favored government control over the money supply. I reminded him that the period 1840-1860 had no government control of money whatsoever and we had a growing economy and no bank failures. (People point to the Panic of 1857, but Prof. Charles Calomiris and I showed that that panic was the result of the Dred Scott case, NOT bank "failures").

Friedman really had no answer that I could even re-state to you. Something about, "Someone has to set the value of money" or the "unit of account," to which I replied that "someone does"---the MARKET. There wasn't much else to the conversation. He had no answer for the period 1840-1860.

[LS]

Not hardly.

I think we’re close to a contract on a sequel, “48 MORE Liberal Lies about History” that I will co-author with Burton Folsom of “New Deal or Raw Deal?”
