Many of you are probably familiar with Alan Greenspan's "Gold and Economic Freedom", and that he palled around with Objectivists for a while. Is it entirely unimaginable that he faked his "conversion" to state-friendly economics in order to use uber low interest rates as a tool to push along the destruction of the state? I'm imagining him acting somewhat like the D'Anconia character in Atlas Shrugged.
Likely he would laugh at such a theory, but stranger things have happened...
Possible? Sure. Probable? I have no idea. Is it true? No way of knowing.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
