In the midst of yet another American banking crisis, the so-called experts are at a loss to explain how these crises keep happening. But there is an answer, and it’s one that Austrian economists have known for more than a century. Matt Kibbe talks to Peter St. Onge, research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who explains how our system of fractional reserve banking is a house of cards that is founded on the lie that the same dollar can be in two places at once. Simply put, the banks are so fragile because they are already insolvent—even when things seem to be going well. This issue can be solved, but it requires rethinking the way we bank and getting the government out of the money business.
