On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop are joined by Mark Thornton to discuss Jerome Powell’s most recent announcement. As the Fed signals its potential for a policy pivot, other members of the FOMC are sending other signals. What does this mean for monetary policy, the dollar, and the performance of the real economy? Thornton is here to answer these questions and more.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
