Chris Leithner runs Leithner & Associates - a private investment company based in Brisbane. Originally from Canada, Chris holds a Ph.D. from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland). He is also the author of The Evil Princes of Martin Place (free intro chapter here) and The Intelligent Australian Investor.

In The Evil Princes of Martin Place Chris asks: What caused the "Global Financial Crisis" (GFC)? What will be the consequences of the actions undertaken by governments to combat it?

Chris blames poor policies - in particular, the existence of legal tender laws, fractional reserve banking and central banking - as being the GFC's ultimate causes.

Steve Austin from 612 ABC Radio Queensland conducts the interview.
