FREE PRICES NOW! by HUNTER LEWIS
FREE PRICES NOW! by HUNTER LEWIS
“Free Prices Now!” begins by asking why the human race is still so poor. How can it be that
billions still lack even enough to eat? It then provides the answer. A prosperous society is a
cooperative society. Cooperation in turn depends on trust. And trust requires honesty.
The most reliable barometer of economic honesty is to be found in prices. Honest prices, neither
manipulated nor controlled, provide both investors and consumers with reliable economic
signals. They are the foundation for a successful economy.
A corrupt economic system does not want honest prices, honest information, or honest results.
The truth may be unprofitable for powerful government leaders, private interests allied with
them, or economic “experts” whose careers have been devoted to price manipulations and
controls.
The US Federal Reserve and other central banks have created a system of “liar loans” and false
prices. Other parts of government have contributed as well. In effect, the regulators on whom we
depend have become dis-regulators.
Can it really be this simple, that economic prosperity and job growth depend on allowing
economic prices to tell the truth, free from the self-dealing and self-interested theories of
powerful special interests?
Yes.
Although Lewis takes us inside the complexities of the national economy and the Federal
Reserve, his lively and transparently clear writing style makes it easy for anyone to follow him.
