Dear Colleagues,
Some of you may be interested in a very timely forum, entitled "Depression,
Monetary Destruction, and the Path to Sound Money", which will be presented by
the Mises Institute in Greenville, SC on October 3, 2009.

[Most Libertarians are aware that] FDR followed up on Hoover's attempted
inflation by closing the banks and plotting an unprecedented inflation that
ended in the paper money we use today. So strong was the faith in inflation
that his administration even mandated turning in all gold to the government.
It was a desperate move that only made matters worse.
So it is in our own time. Chronicling the actions of the Fed since the onset
of the 2008 meltdown and following has been harrowing, for it reveals an
amazing parade of folly. It's as if we've learned nothing from the long
history of inflation and hyper-inflation.
The speakers at this Mises Circle will focus on the relationship between
anti-depression policy and inflationary finance, and discuss what the current
monetary trends mean for the future of the dollar.
Speakers include
* Douglas French
* Thomas DiLorenzo
* Robert Murphy
* Jeffrey Tucker
* Thomas Woods
