Congressman Paul Subcommittee Hearing "The Federal Reserve System: Mend It or End It?" PART 2

Ron Paul's House Member Office (R-TX-14) posted a Video on May 10, 2012 | 4:23 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)
This hearing examines a number of legislative proposals to reform, replace, or abolish the Federal Reserve System. "More and more people are beginning to understand just how destructive the Federal Reserve's monetary policy has been," said Chairman Paul. "I hope that this hearing will kickstart a serious discussion on the need to rein in the Fed. 100 years is far too long for Congress to have taken a hands-off approach," Paul continued. "The Fed continues to reward Wall Street banks while destroying the dollar's purchasing power and driving up the cost of living for average Americans. This reckless behavior must come to an end" The hearing was held on Tuesday, May 8th, at 10:00 am in room 2128 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Panel II • Dr. Jeffrey M. Herbener, Chairman, Economics Department, Grove City College • Dr. Peter G. Klein, Associate Professor, Applied Social Sciences and Director, McQuinn Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, University of Missouri • Dr. John B. Taylor, Mary and Robert Raymond Professor of Economics, Stanford University and George P. Schultz Senior Fellow in Economics, Hoover Institution • Dr. Alice Rivlin, Senior Fellow, Economic Studies, Brookings Institution, and former Vice Chair, Federal Reserve Board of Governors • Dr. James K.

Rep. Ron Paul sponsored this Congressional lecture on "What Does the Fed Do?", the second lecture in a three part series on the Federal Reserve System for Congressional staff. As a continuing educational tool this lecture was filmed and is provided to the public. The lecture was delivered by James Grant, founder and editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer and a frequent commentator on financial news networks. Mr. Grant's lecture summarizes the methods the Federal Reserve uses in its attempt to manage the economy through the conduct of monetary policy, dissecting the euphemistic language behind the Fed's actions and describing in detail the problems with the Fed's endeavor to be an "economic seer." Mr. Grant also bridges the gap between the lectures on the pre-Fed era and the Fed's future by describing the evolution of the Fed over its one hundred year history. Other lectures in the Fed series: Pt. 1: Why Was the Fed Created? -- www.youtube.com Pt. 3: What is the Fed's Future? -- available May 2012 Related: Ron Paul Money Lecture Series Pt. 1: "What is Money" -- www.youtube.com Pt. 2: "What is Constitutional Money?" www.youtube.com Pt. 3: "What About Money Causes Economic Crises?" -- www.youtube.com

"Why Was the Fed Created?" with George Selgin -- Ron Paul Fed Lecture Series, Pt 1/3

Ron Paul's House Member Office (R-TX-14) posted a Video on March 2, 2012 | 3:34 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)
Rep. Ron Paul sponsored this Congressional lecture on "Why Was the Federal Reserve Created?", the introductory lecture in a three part series on the Federal Reserve System for Congressional staff. As a continuing educational tool this lecture was filmed and is provided to the public. The lecture was delivered by Dr. George Selgin, Professor of Economics at the Terry School of Business at the University of Georgia and author of a number of books on money and banking, such as "Bank Deregulation and Monetary Order" and "Good Money." Prof. Selgin provides a short but comprehensive explanation of the institutional drawbacks of the United States banking system during the 19th century and how this fueled desire for financial reform. Unfortunately, as Prof. Selgin goes on to describe, the solution of allowing a free market in banking was rejected and instead another layer of government regulation was placed on the banking sector in the form of the Federal Reserve System.
