What is the Federal Reserve? Does it serve a useful purpose and who controls it? Does the Federal Reserve help preserve a free market? Did we always have a Federal Reserve? Are there any disadvantages to having such a construct? Our guest today is professor of economics at Grove City College and has authored the book: "Foundations of Economics: A Christian View." Also referenced during the interview is a website with more information - please see: www.mises.org. Another book for further education is: "The Ethics of Money Production," by J�rg Guido H�lsmann. The book is available as a PDF and also for ordering. Participants: Dr. Shawn Ritenour, Dan Elmendorf
