Watch the whole 1:06 minute presentation at http://www.goldmoney.com/huerta-de-soto-presentation. In this fifth this video, Jesús Huerta de Soto, Professor of Political Economy at Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid, (http://www.urjc.es/) explains how artificial credit expansion leads to a temporary economic boom, and why it inevitably results in recession. Huerta de Soto uses the example of his native Spain, and how European Central Bank credit expansion distributed unevenly around the Eurozone, resulting in housing bubbles in periphery Eurozone countries like Spain, Greece and Ireland.
