411 TIP. How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy w/ Christopher Leonard

Trey Lockerbie sits down with investigative journalist and author, Christopher Leonard. Chris wrote a New York Times bestselling book called Kochland, which profiles billionaire Charles Koch and Koch Industries. He’s also the author of a new book, entitled The Lords of Easy Money – How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy.

The influence of the FED is becoming more and more understood by mainstreet and it can be an endlessly fascinating discussion. That’s what I found here with Christopher Leonard, who I probably could have talked to for hours more. I especially love how great Chrstopher can weave a story together. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Christopher Leonard.
