LRDr. Malmgren does a great job of letting Mr. Meltzer express his thoughts. So many interviewers of her intellect would be tempted to speak more and try to outshine their interviewee...well done.
-
RAWatched this again après his passing at Milton's urging and enjoyed even more than my first viewing. Anyone trying this hard to communicate his life's intellectual stores should be listened to with the utmost respect. It is good to be reminded once again that throughout all of history that there has never been a Rich Country w/o the Rule of Law and that no Country ever became a Rich country w/o the Rule of Law. His students were lucky to have had him. Wonderful man!

SDHe was a great man. A great and clear thinker on Capitalism and the need for the rule of law.

BSThis was a very informative interview. This lady is good! In Canada, our Governor of the bank of Canada relies too much on models to adjust monetary policy. Hell, all their models missed the oil glut which continues! Dr. Meltzer's advice to think outside the models is important.

JABest hing on RV so far!
-
ddAnd the purge continues. It appears all central banker types want to set the record straight before the sh*t hits the fan. Very enlightening, however, where were the voices in the decades past?
-
MRYellen couldn't polish this man's shoes! Another fantastic contribution by the brilliant Pippa! I eager await Pippa's next contribution to RV.

LCThanks Pippa! Professor Meltzer cut out the noise and made clear and compelling points. Priceless!
-
SC"Rule of Law". It would be nice to see a little of that.
-
ACBanks that lend money to insolvent nations like Greece should be allowed to fail,that is capitalism. We have no rule of law, financial fraud and crony capitalism rules the day. For now. 100% Kathleen

CDGreat interview. You cannot ignore the views of someone with his experience and insight. As he suggests the developed nations will be desperate to inflate away their troubles!!
-
JBProf Meltzer seemed to be getting lost in his own answers on a few occasions during Part 1 & 2 of this interview. But overall he provided some good insight into background conversations. that occur.
-
AEThank you Dr. & Prof Ms. A lot to digest! Biggest takeaway is that we all need to take a haircut or else we bankrupt our children....hang on to your hats!!
-
SJThanks to all concerned. I feel privileged to have viewed this interview. Prof Meltzer, thank you.
-
PTThe truth always shines. Thank you Professor Meltzer for presenting it so clearly.
-
RBThe Rule of Law must prevail yet as a country we are actually weakening it with endless litigation. Thank you, Dr Meltzer, for re-emphasizing its importance.

KSBanks that lend money to insolvent nations like Greece should be allowed to fail, that is capitalism. We have no rule of law, financial fraud and crony capitalism rules the day. For now.
-
SPOne of the most pertinent points for investors to come from this interview is the Rule of Law determinant of a nations wealth prospects. India appears to offer better investment prospects than China
-
CDYes, without the rule of law and competition...no culture can ever progress. Captilisim has its social flaws...but its the only system historically that has improved living standards for generations.
-

AGUS could easily fund its liabilities if it didn't spend a huge amount of money on wars. When was last time a country has attacked the US?
-
AGSo gold standard is passe since it only worked in agricultural times, but Adam Smith isn't?
-
BLMore More. So illuminating.
-
WMExcellent discussion with Meltzer & draws well on his vast experience & recollections. "we don't have ideal systems, we have human systems". The latter & in the throes of crisis & the FED will fail.
-
KTUnfunded liabilities is exactly why I buy gold. Loved this interview, they both distill things down to what matters. Surprised he praised 1920s and late 1990s as ideal policy... except for crashes?
-
PTIt just doesn't get better than this. Both are fantastic.
-
PSAllan Meltzer clearly explains why Capitalism is the best alternative to all the other economic and political choices. That and the rule of law. I wish everyone understood this so clearly.
-
BMJust renewed my subscription to RealVision. Would have paid twice the cost for this interview alone.
-
GGWithout the Rule of Law, there is nothing::no economy, no culture, no progress for mankind in general. Excellent interview.

FSAbsolutely fascinating interview. Discussion dovetails quite nicely with Nial Furgusone's 6 Killer Apps Ted Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpnFeyMGUs8.
