Tho Bishop is an assistant editor for the Mises Wire, and can assist with questions from the press. Prior to working for the Mises Institute, he served as Deputy Communications Director for the House Financial Services Committee. His articles have been featured in The Federalist, the Daily Caller, and Business Insider. He has also published a recent book called Anatomy of the Crash: The Financial Crisis of 2020.

Tho discusses the basics of Austrian economics and why it should be applied more than it is. Though "Austrian" sounds strange and exotic, it is actually very American in concept. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is also discussed along with its downfalls. 

Philip Sharp discusses further the implications of MMT in his essay segment.
