This is why a new, critical look at the Federal Reserve is needed, and why the Mises Institute is now happy to bring you this new documentary on the Fed.

Playing with Fire provides a look at how the Fed uses its expanding power to damage our economy, increase inequality, and to impoverish ordinary Americans. The film also looks at how much the Fed has expanded its own power since the Financial Crisis of 2008.

Featuring interviews with Ron Paul, Tom DiLorenzo, Joseph Salerno, Mark Thornton, Jim Grant, Alex Pollock, and Jonathan Newman, Playing with Fire explains what the Fed is, where it came from, and why it is so dangerous. Perhaps most importantly of all, Playing with Fire shows why we need to end the Fed altogether. After watching the film, you can learn more about the principles of sound money and economic freedom by signing up to receive a free copy of "What Has Government Done to Our Money?"  Click here to get your free book! 

For decades, the most powerful institutions, from academia to the corporate press, have made a concerted effort to marginalize the wisdom of Austrian economics. Their control is breaking. From Tucker Carlson to UFC, the name Ludwig von Mises has reached the masses in ways he could have never imagined.

Now, we're looking to take it to the next level.

We are releasing our newest documentary, exposing how the Federal Reserve is ripping off the public and enriching the parasitic elite. This documentary isn't just for supporters of the Mises Institute. It is for the masses, made ready to stream to anyone with access to Amazon Prime or YouTube.

We already have the support of some of the Fed's greatest critics: Ron Paul and Jim Grant. What we need is your help.

Your donation will help us release this documentary to the public at a time when inflation is the country's number one issue. From teenagers fearing they will never enjoy the life of their parents to retirees fearful of what is happening to their savings, everyone is learning exactly what government has done to our money.

Help us meet our fundraising goal. Donate $50 today and receive our new, never-before-published booklet by Murray Rothbard, Taking Back Our Money. Donors of $1,000 or more will be listed in the film credits.

Central banks have two main purposes: inflate the money supply and bail out the big financial firms. By inflating the money supply, governments can finance their operations cheaply and surreptitiously at our expense. If we wish to expose the state and all its evils, we must point to the source, the Federal Reserve.

This is why we are making our new Federal Reserve documentary. The Fed has created its own narrative for far too long. Now we're telling people the truth.

Production is going great. Our first interview was with the great Ron Paul in Texas. Next week, the crew is off to New York City to film Jim Grant.

We're thrilled to share this teaser with you at last. Show it to your friends and family to spread the word about this important project!

Dedicated to Murray N. Rothbard, steeped in American history and Austrian economics, and featuring Ron Paul, Joseph Salerno, Hans Hoppe, and Lew Rockwell, this extraordinary new film is the clearest, most compelling explanation ever offered of the Fed, and why curbing it must be our first priority.

Alan Greenspan is not, we're told, happy about this 42-minute blockbuster. Watch it, and you'll understand why. This is economics and history as they are meant to be: fascinating, informative, and motivating. This movie could change America.
