The Economic Downturn: Non-Krugman Version

The Bubble, our forthcoming documentary on the financial crisis and the housing boom and bust, provided the occasion for a very well attended panel at FreedomFest earlier this month. On the panel were Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, Gene Epstein (Barron’s), and David Tice (Prudent Bear). I moderated. (The Doug Casey cigar incident is captured in the video.)

For more on the forthcoming film, see our website, and please follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    Hey my name is Kirk and i live in AZ. I just wanted to say thank you for telling it like it is. The fight is def up hill and the ground is pretty muddy. I hope you keep the faith that comes with liberty and hold strong when the darkness pushes. I believe the true battle for freedom has not yet begun. Jesus King and Gandhi had more than murder in common. They above all had a passion for mankind and I see that in you.
    Kindly -Kirk
