During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Doug about his background and how he became a Libertarian and an Austrian School Economist.
Doug tells the story of how he attended UNLV for grad school and he studied economics under Murray Rothbard.
Doug talks about Murray’s unique teaching style and Jason and Doug discuss Murray’s writing.
Next, Jason asks Doug about the Austrian School business cycle theory and why asset markets and the real economy goes through enormous booms and busts every 6-10 years now.
Doug blames politicians, Wall St, Keynesian central bankers and the people in economic and political power who get rich off the status quo and want more money printed to maintain the status quo at all costs.
Jason and Doug discuss inflation, Keynesian Economics, competing currencies, capital controls, taxes, Japan, precious metals, financial history, precious metals and Bitcoin to wrap up the interview.
This turned into a great discussion and Doug provides a lot of great insights into the banking sector, an industry he worked in for over a decade.
