The Economics of Sanctions

The Mises Institute‘s Jeff Deist starts the show by talking about the media pivot from the pandemic to war. He is joined by Jonathan Newman to discuss the economics of sanctions, whether sanctions against private Russian firms are justified, economic blowbacks towards ordinary Americans, Russia’s exclusion from SWIFT, why cryptocurrency threatens the dollar, and more. Also in the show, John Williams of ShadowStats.com calls in to talk about real numbers and inflation.
