Bob Murphy Show Robert Murphy

Bob first pushes back on Tim Pool's recent commentary on interstate labor mobility, then turns to address whether the US is currently in a recession. He explains the role that inventories play in conventional GDP accounting.

Bob provides a qualified defense of Larry Summers' recent claim that high unemployment will be necessary to contain price inflation.

Jason Rink explains his documentaries on the so-called Q-Shaman and Nick Fuentes, as well as the pushback he's received.

Bob seeks to explain why the Fed's extraordinary monetary inflation following the 2008 financial crisis didn't result in $5/gallon gasoline, while the Fed's extraordinary monetary inflation following the 2020 coronavirus panic did.

Bob offers thoughts on the LP Mises Caucus takeover, Justin Amash's speech, and then argues that the Fed has not yet begun to tighten.

Bob uses a recent Krugman article to highlight how free-traders sometimes confuse the public on the nature of trade surpluses. Contrary to Krugman, there's nothing foolish about exporting more than you import.
