Pensateci. Qual è lo strumento che usate di più nella vita di tutti i giorni? No, non è lo spazzolino, né l’automobile, e nemmeno la moka. È qualcosa allo stesso tempo di immateriale e di tangibile, che può essere contenuto in un caveau gigantesco o in una piccola tasca, sotto forma di numeri binari o di cilindretti dorati. Qualcosa, soprattutto, che vi permette di accedere a cibo e medicine, concerti e gite fuori porta, libri e serie tv; salute e felicità.

New bank failures have been a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we'd never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc.

Talk about great timing. Rothbard's extraordinary book unravels the mystery of banking: What is legitimate enterprise and what is a government-backed shell game that can't last? His explanation is clear enough for anyone to follow and yet precise and rigorous enough to be the best textbook for college classes on the topic. This is because its expository clarity - in its history and theory - is essentially unrivaled. Most notably, he uses the T-account method of explaining the relationship between deposits and loans, showing the inherent instability of fractional reserve banking.

The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed's leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. 

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Most of the money in the world was never printed. A bank typed it into existence the moment someone signed a loan. That is not a conspiracy theory. It is how the system is designed to work, and almost nobody is taught it. Not at school, not at the bank...
