	William Volker Fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The William Volker Fund, which was active from 1932 to 1965, was a charitable foundation established to subsidize the promotion and dissemination of free market economics and libertarian ideas.
		Under the administration of William Volker's nephew Harold Luhnow from 1944 onwards, the Fund pursued a number of strategies for increasing the acceptance of libertarianism and Austrian economics thought in the U.S. The Fund was instrumental in bringing Friedrich Hayek to the University of Chicago.
		According to observers such as John Blundell of the Mont Pelerin Society, the William Volker Fund's strategic successor on its expiration was the F.A. Harper's Institute for Humane Studies.

		Buchanan had explained that this application was not for fluid research and graduate student support through the economics department, but rather should be considered on the basis that there was no other comparable program in the country, that the Center was a going concern, and that its success required continuity in support.
		However, further efforts were subsequently made to seek funding from the Ford Foundation, and a post-doctoral fellowship was obtained for the Harvard-trained James R. Schlesinger in 1962-63.

	William J. Polley: October 2005 Archives
		Louis Fed Bank President William Poole even said that the Fed could err on the side of raising interest rates too high to clamp down on inflation because it could them cut them quickly if growth began to falter.
		In this case, a higher federal funds rate may be required, so that monetary policy does not unintentionally support an inflationary environment - one in which prices for a broad range of goods and services steadily rise.
		Although uncertainty had increased, in the Committee's judgment the fundamental factors influencing the longer-term path of the economy probably had not been affected by the hurricane, but the upside risks to inflation appeared to have increased.

	Safe Haven \| Real Bills, Phony Wealth: An Error in Fekethmetic
		The funding of fixed capital can only come out of the stream of final goods that are available.
		Fekete and Hultberg believe that there is an economic difference between the funding of capital that is closer to or more remote from final consumption, with the latter requiring savings and the former not.
		Because funding is inherently scarce, the decision to produce more of a good "A" must come at the expense of either less immediate consumption or the production of less of some other good "B".

		Fekete claims that savings alone are insufficient to fund capital investment, while the appearance of more Bills of Exchange provides a means of funding investment without savings.

		In the workings of RBD, bills are to be funded not with the bank’s own equity capital, nor with savings loaned to the bank by its creditors.
		The purchase of the bill is therefore a kind of loan from the bank, but a curious sort of loan in which the funds for the credit were not previously loaned to the bank by anyone.
		Mises was overly optimistic when he wrote, “The absurdity of [inflationists’] arguments is so manifest that their refutation and exposure is easy indeed.” Inflationism has been the most enduring and harmful fallacy of monetary economics.
