IEA research on the case for abolishing central banks has been featured in Business Live. The editor of The Experience of Free Banking, Professor Kevin Dowd was quoted in the piece.

“The experience of free banking shows that the root problem lies not with the markets, but with government interference in financial markets, starting first and foremost with the government setting up a pet bank to grant it loans it could not otherwise obtain. This original sin has spawned no end of needless problems that plague us to this day.”
