This was just found in the LvMI archives: Ludwig von Mises speaking on “The Problems of Inflation” at FEE in 1968.
At 41:34, Mises says, “What the individual American… has to realize is that the policy of inflation… makes it impossible for him to organize his working, earning, spending, and saving in such a way that he could provide for the future of his family. This is why inflationary policy is the most radical revolutionary institution in the world.”
At 1:02:03, Mises recommends reading Murray Rothbard’s America’s Great Depression to understand how credit expansion causes the business cycle.
UPDATE: Thanks to Nielsio for putting it on YouTube!

Awesome. Any story behind it’s find? An old box being sorted out, and ‘voilà’? Also may as well add this here, rare 1988 Ron Paul responding to a question; harping on about inflation, and also recommending the person read Rothbard’s Great Depression (http://youtu.be/l_Cdu0D9h0g) because Rothbard “converted” him
.
I haven’t seen any Mises video in which he himself speaks. I wonder why mises.org doesn’t have any. Am I lazy to search more or is the reason that there is not a Mises video at all anywhere?
