Dr. Richard Ebeling explains free-market economics, why betting against the dollar is a good idea and why holding gold may be an even better one

The editors of The Daily Bell are pleased to present this special guest interview conducted by Scott Smith with famed free-market economist Dr. Richard Ebeling.

Introduction: Dr. Richard Ebeling is a senior fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and has been a visiting professor at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut (2008-2009). He also served as the president of the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, NY (2003-2008), and has been the Ludwig von Mises Professor Economics at Hillsdale College, in Hillsdale, Michigan (1988-2003). He is the author of Austrian Economics and the Political Economy of Freedom (Elgar, 2003), and is also the editor of the Selected Writings of Ludwig von Mises (Liberty Fund), based on the "lost papers" of Ludwig von Mises, which he recovered from a formerly secret KGB archive in Moscow, Russia. In the early 1990s, he consulted on market reform and privatization with the emerging new democratic government in Lithuania when it was still part of the Soviet Union, and witnessed the violent, attempted Soviet crackdown on the Lithuanian freedom movement in January 1991. He also was with Russian defenders of freedom in Moscow during the failed hard-line coup in August 1991. His new book, Political Economy, Public Policy, and Monetary Economics: Ludwig von Mises and the Austrian Tradition, will be published in 2009 by Routledge. He is also writing an intellectual biography of Ludwig von Mises that will appear before the end of 2010. Dr. Ebeling earned his PhD in economics from Middlesex University in London, England.
