Ron Paul Speeches, Podcasts, and a Free Audio Book

Congressman Ron Paul came in 2nd place in the New Hampshire primary this past Tuesday in his 2012 presidential campaign for the Republican Party nomination. With a largely grassroots following Ron Paul’s ideas on freedom have proved popular with his libertarian base. He is an advocate of the Austrian School of Economics developed by Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek which emphasizes free markets that are not intruded on by government intervention. Ron Paul has spoken many times at the Mises Institute and he even offers a few of his writings on audio book there as well. You can view a lot of his talks there right here:

Today we’re featuring Ron Paul’s audio booklet Gold, Peace, and Prosperity which is a 1981 text that outlines his advocacy of returning to the gold standard and getting rid of the U.S. Federal Reserve which regulates the U.S. money supply among other things. Paul feels that since its creation the U.S. Federal Reserve has created a flood of paper money which has led to constant inflation and the gradual decline of the value of the U.S. dollar. By backing up the dollar with a gold standard which was in place through the Great Depression, Paul feels we can restore real value to the dollar and separate the economy from governmental influence in the same way church and state are separated. In today’s headlines of corporate welfare and government bailouts, Ron Paul’s ideas on these matters of economic freedom still prove to be popular.
