Sandeep Jaitley Fired for Expressing Opinions on Max Keiser Show

[pmbug]

Thought provoking post from Mish (highly recommended to click the link and read the whole thing):

According to Forbes, economist Sandeep Jaitly was forced to resign from his position at the Gold Standard Institute after expressing his views with Max Keiser.

Said Phillip Barton, president of GSI "Lest there be any misunderstanding, the views expressed by Sandeep Jaitly in his interview with Max Keiser are not the views of The Gold Standard Institute. To the contrary, we strongly disagree with those views. .... Sandeep Jaitly has resigned from his position as Senior Research Fellow with the Institute and we sincerely thank him for his past contributions."

Let's Tune Into Max

You can read the interview at Keiser Report: Frankenmarkets and Austrian Economics.

What appears to have gotten Sandeep in trouble is his criticism that Mises made "too many mistakes".

ahhh, these days, free speech and free thought, everybody hates them, from top to bottom, from mainstream to fringe.
I've found his interview w/ KAiser very interesting myself. That's maybe because I was always for discussion, not for dogma.
