Ron Paul gave Rick Santorum a history lesson last night at the Ames, Iowa, GOP debate. After Paul said there is no evidence the Iranians are developing nuclear weapons and the United States should mind its own business.
While still a medical resident during the 1960s, Paul was influenced by Fredeick Hayek’s The Road To Serfdom, which caused him to read many publications by Ludwig von Mises and Ayn Rand. He came to know economists Hans Sennholz and Murry Rothbard well, and credits to them his interest in the study of economics. He came to believe that what the Austrian School economists wrote was becoming true on August 15, 1971, when President Nixon "closed the gold window" by implementing the complete departure from the gold standard. That same day, Ron Paul ,the young physician decided to enter politics, saying later, "After that day, all money would be political money rather than money of real value."
