I don't know how many people would find an Economics lecture interesting enough to sit at home and watch it online but apparently I am one of those people. I just started watching The Origin, Nature and History of Money, given by Lawrence W. Reed of the FEE. Since I'm still relatively new to the free market scene, I'm vastly interested in going over the basics. And so far that's what this guy is doing. And, on a side-note, it's making me feel smarter. Which I like, since lately I've been feeling like the process of going from having one kid to having two (pregnancy, sleep-deprivation, etc.) has shrunk my brain to the size of a Fruit Loop. Perhaps I exaggerate, but it really is amazing how invigorating it can be to learn something new.
"[Money] is only useful for what it gets you in exchange, and it's supply must remain scarce in order to preform it's function."
- Lawrence W. Reed
