Economist Robert Murphy joins John and Merlin to talk about how many of the current “remedies” our government has implemented simply are not working. Before we understand how to fix these problems, we must first identify what the impact of our previous actions has been. This allows us to isolate areas of the economy, adopt a new policy and get things working again. Unfortunately many of the suggestions fly right in the face of the Keynesian economists in power! The trio also takes a look at the gold standard,  and the looming question regarding devaluing currencies and international trade.
