Episode: Steve Hanke on Hyperinflation, Currency Boards, and the COVID Lockdown Debacle
Description: Bob hosts economist and distinguished senior scholar at the Mises Institute, Steve Hanke, to discuss his research on hyperinflations, currency board solutions, and the economic effects of the COVID lockdowns. Hanke explains the findings of his meta-analysis of lockdown impact and explains why Sweden's laissez-faire approach was vindicated. He also draws from decades of experience stopping hyperinflation globally, advocating currency boards and gold-backed solutions as effective alternatives to central banks.
