The Inhibition of Freedom

Macroeconomist and Investment Strategist Lyn Alden joins me to discuss the IMF paper titled, "The Liquidation of Government Debt". We talk about the many ways governments use coercion and financial repression to liquidate their debts onto productive market actors. We also discuss why gold failed as money and how Bitcoin could change institutional structures worldwide.
