Por Edward Gonzalez. (Publicado el 5 de octubre de 2009) Traducido del inglés. El artículo original se encuentra aquí http://mises.org/story/3724 . Ha habido mucho ruido acerca de la Reserva Federal duplicando la base monetaria este último año. Muchos creen inminente...
I just saw the photos from Mumbai . Suddenly the whole world stands in perspective, and even my most major problems seem minuscule and insignificant when staring at these photos. Pure and absolute horror is the only phrase that comes close to what I feel as I look on as human beings destroy the lives...
