"It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it, but there is nothing I can do about it right now". When Luke tells Obi-wan Kenobi these words during the early part of the Star Wars movie the sense of hopelessness is almost palpable. But it turns out of course that Luke CAN make a difference. In a very short period of time he is thrown into the war against a tyrannical government controlling the galaxy. He made a difference.Maybe you feel like Luke did because you have no control. Governments around the world are printing money like it means nothing. Inflation is climbing. There are multiple countries on the edge of hyperinflation events. By virtually every metric the average person is losing the financial battle. But Bitcoin brings hope and the possibility of future based on sound money. A way to combat the Evil Empire while not having to lift a blaster.Podcasting 2.0 Apps Available at http://newpodcastapps.com/I can be reached by email at mcintosh@genwealthcrypto.com and on twitter at @McIntoshFinTech.

The Austrian and Keynesian economist view government management of economic cycles differently. The Keynesian economist have a guiding principle that the government is there to guide and manage the economy intervening during times of growth and recession.

This spending vs saving narrative is one of the major differences between Keynesian and Austrian economics. Keynesian logic is that people in a nation shouldn't be "savers". They should be out spending money - driving the economy. It's your duty to spend and not save. Austrians think that savings is an important component of any healthy economy. Of course these concepts are at cross-purposes.

The Keynesian economics believe that deflation is bad  and "moderate" inflation is good. Austrians believe deflation is a good thing and inflation by money printing is a bad thing.

There are two main theories of macro economics - Austrian and Keynesian. Austrian economics developed in the late 1800's Austria while Keynesian economics was developed in the environment of the 1930's Great Depression. I believe that it's pretty indisputable that the majority of the countries of the world operate under what amounts to Keynesian economics. I believe that these policies are what are bringing us to the brink of a Global Depression. In today's episode I give an overview of the two economic theories, a bit of history and the major differences between them.News and LinksGenesis Loan to 3ACEl Salvador Bitcoin Volcano BondMetamask Logging of Personal DataVladimir Putin Asks for Digital Payment System...Il Capo thread on mental game and time factorBinance auditor, Armanino LLPDCG, Genesis and  GreyscaleLyn AldenPodcasting 2.0 Apps Available at http://newpodcastapps.com/I can be reached by email at mcintosh@genwealthcrypto.com and on twitter at @McIntoshFinTech.
