Published 5 years, 9 months ago

Dr. Antony Davies joins me to talk about why printing money, or inflation, is a tax on savings. We talk about the Cobra Effect and the law of unintended consequences. Davies says that the United States is not concerned with socialism, but transferism. We talk about UBI, COVID-19, human cooperation versus coercion, the "non-essential worker" fallacy and much more!
