Author Douglas Murray discusses the "extraordinary moment" of the AI pause letter on Fox News.

- **Published:** 2022-07-03

A 40-year-old clip of economist Milton Friedman explains that inflation is exclusively produced in Washington D.C. through the control of the money supply. Friedman argues that governments often blame greedy businessmen, unions, or foreign entities for rising prices to avoid responsibility for the printing of excess currency. An anecdote regarding the Confederate War illustrates how stopping the printing presses can immediately halt inflationary trends.

Crude oil prices are dropping rapidly, leading to a steady decline in gasoline costs at American pumps.
