Zimbabwe Ben Fools Time

"The man who is now supposed to fix our problems did not see them cmong in the first place. One may perhaps think that the problems were so byzantine that they were undetectable until they at last erupted in the crisis. But this is not so. There were those who saw the problems clearly. A few predicted the crisis with uncanny accuracy. One of them was Peter Schiff, a financial commentator and president of Euro Pacific Capital. ... It is paradoxical that as Schiff was sounding the alarm, mainstream pundits--those of the Greenspan/Bernanke worldview--were laughing in his face. ... Of course, Peter Schiff and Ron Paul have no crystal ball that enables them to fortell future events with uncanny accuracy. Their grasp of financial and economic situation is rooted in the Austrian school of economics. An outgrowth of classical liberalism, its main proponents are Ludwig von Mises, Nobel Prize winner Frederich von Hayek and Murray N. Rothbard. One of the main focus areas of this school is the business cycle--the boom-and-bust recurrence--which defines the trajectory of western-style economies", Vasko Kohlmayer at Frontpage Magazine, 24 December 2009, link: http://frontpagemag.com/2009/12/24/ben-bernanke-bust-of-the-year-–-by-vasko-kohlmayer/
