He also linked to Barkley's awesome account of the 1921 recession in his blog post on this issue just today. I'm glad Barkley and I were able to stir this pot as it has gotten Paul's attention, which has been a good thing.

What I find particularly silly is how suddenly Grant is this great oracle. People have been pushing these half-baked arguments about 1921 for some time, but now, well, Grant has it. We just needed major deflation.<br /><br />Grant is a gold bug who has been a joke for a long time, even if he does get on money talk shows. But now we have WaPo taking him seriously, at least the completely incompetent RJ Samuelson. I fear this is the influence of Jeff Bezos more and more. Grant's book has gotten push from libertarian Cato, and so, well let us please new owner, libertarian Bezos.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.com
