Interview murray rothbard, father of the libertarian movement.) Penthouse: If private charity is to work, the economy must be healthy and many economist feel that an unhampered free market leads to recessions and depressions, which are cured only by government intervention. Rothbard: Depressions and recessions are not brought about by a free enterprise system. They are brought about by the government and its process of inflationary counterfeiting. It's the government's banking system that creates inflation recession, and depression. The government distorts the economy and creates unsound investments. The investments have to be liquidated, and the result is a period of depression. Then the more the government intervenes......the longer the depression last. (Given today's economy, even though this written back during the Carter years it is something I wish people would better debate today.)
