Repeal the entire Banking Act of 1933, and Austrian School economists will cheer, especially if the current system were replaced by a 100%-reserve competitive banking with no central bank.

When I was younger, I definitely wish I had felt more...

Italy spills over to everything. Italy is a huge banking system. It has been the major banking system in Eastern Europe. It's worked with Austria's banking system.

And when Germany falls, and it will, that's when the panic begins to set in.
