Ooooo, I got the guys at the Mises Institute to acknowledge the talk, too: http://blog.
"
Kevin Dowd, professor of economics at Nottingham University Business School, gave an excellent lecture yesterday, which you can see on Google Video, though the audio is long and the video is not well edited to remove seemingly endless introductory material.
"In any case, Professor Dowd says pretty much what everyone at Mises.org has been saying: this problem was created by central banking, deposit insurance, fiat money, loose credit, and can only be fixed by a radical overhaul involving redeemable commodity money -- i.e. a truly free market. It's a good talk that I think Murray Rothbard would have very much liked but for his uncritical discussion of Scottish free banking.
There is a good summary of the speech at Samizdata. "
