Limiting Government: the Role of Gold

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

Government has two great powers: (1) the legal monopoly on the use of force, i.e., coercion; and, (2) the power of the purse. The legal monopoly on coercion is limited in the extreme by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, which gives the people the right to bear arms. The power of the purse is, […]

The Death of the Dollar (Part I)

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

Whenever the monetary authorities were able to create money out of nothing, there always came a time when they could not resist the temptation to overissue. What makes our monetary authorities different from those of the past? The Catholic Church has a line for this, and the Catholic Church has this exactly right: “In the […]

The Stupid (Prudent) Man Rule

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

Pension plan asset allocation that is theoretically and empirically stupid has been redefined as being prudent, thereby leading to a massive misallocation of pension plan assets. More importantly, since the US monetary system is dishonest, as well as many of the asset allocations being prima facie fraudulent, pension plan trustees have a fiduciary responsibility to […]

Disinformation about Gold

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

This lecture debunks a huge story from the Financial Times whose theme it was that gold is unstable. Using incontrovertible official data, Larry Parks shows that it is the legal tender irredeemable paper-ticket-electronic dollar that is unstable, not gold. This lecture was prepared circa 2009.

Investing with Fiat Money: Risks and Remedies

To Buy or Not To Buy Gold

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

This lecture was broadcast a few years ago, so the numbers in the exhibits have changed. What has not changed is the reasoning about why one, in Larry’s opinion, should allocate a material amount of one’s wealth to gold. An allocation to gold is a bet, i.e., a speculation, not an investment, that the world’s […]

Thank You Mr. Buffett

June 1, 2015 by Larry Parks

Larry Parks thanks Warren Buffett for starting a conversation about gold, even though Mr. Buffett declaims any possible role for gold in the world’s monetary system. That is, Mr. Buffett believes that gold is not of much use when, in fact, it has great use as money. Parks explains how and why politicians, who are […]

Issues Relating to Manufacturers

May 27, 2015 by Larry Parks

Labor & Union Issues

May 15, 2015 by Larry Parks

The ensuing prosperity lasted more […]

Phony Risk Management

March 19, 2015 by Larry Parks

The phony definition of the so-called “riskless rate-of-return” results in a gross misallocation of pension plan assets on which Wall Street firms and banks garner exorbitant and unearned fees. If the putative beneficiaries  receive the benefits and pensions they have been promised and which they have earned, it will be a happy accident. Meanwhile the […]

The Fed is Causing, not Curing, Deflation, Low Wages, Unemployment and Reducing Demand

February 26, 2015 by Larry Parks

Lawrence Parks Contact Information

The Fed believes that Zero interest-rate policy (ZIRP) will boost the economy by increasing credit creation, making it more profitable to build factories, start businesses, with increased demand and employment to follow. ZIRP, a euphemism for facilitating the creation of legal tender irredeemable paper-ticket-electronic make-believe money out of nothing, does bring forward sales of some […]
