Morals & Markets with Dr. Richard Salsman: "The Nefarious Purpose of Central Banking"

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar Richard Salsman, Ph.D., Tuesday, August 22 @ 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET for our quarterly Morals & Markets webinar to discuss central banking and the dangers it poses to individual liberty.

“Central banking is not—as most economists claim—a benign institution that ensures our economic and financial well-being. It is central planning applied to money and banking and as such it proliferates statist regimes, to the detriment of liberty and prosperity.”
