Politics are like a children's bounce house. Everyone inside appears to be having fun, but upon further inspection we realize that this is precisely because they are children.

Jacob Hornberger is founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation. In a recent article entitled Gold and Freedom, Hornberger does an excellent job of giving a history of monetary policy in the United States. He explains the dangers of inflationary power in the hands of the government or its agents, and casts his…
