I think expressing these ideas should be declared illegal. You know just in case some of the lesser minds in society are led astray and start believing that freedom is the answer. Long live equations of exchange! Sieg Heil! I also think these Misesians have crackpot ideas. I think expressing these ideas should be declared illegal.

Well take a look at the failing economy of the U.S. There is your proof. Proof that Keynesian doesn’t work?

Well take a look at the failing economy of the U.S.
There is your proof.

Do you believe that there should be no borders between countries? Do you believe that countries shouldn’t issue currency, companies should only produce script? Well those are only two of the wacked out beliefs Hayek maintained. The only real lesion Austrian Economics seams to forward are the dangers involved in dismantling economies after a global conflict and that’s it. It’s funny how few, if any, of these “Austrian” experts have actually read The Road to Serfdom, fewer seem to understand it.

I have noticed that the Austrian literature has very few numbers. Can anyone provide any stats/research proving that Keynesian economics doesn't work? Thanks Hey guys, I’m just getting into economics ( on the Austrian side at the moment) and I found these comments quiet interesting. I have noticed that the Austrian literature has very few numbers.

In spite of forecasting techniques,modelling like Risk prediction models we have failed to visualize or anticipate the global economic downturn with all its dimensions and impacts.No doubt contemporary economics has become a branch of applied mathematics as pointed out by Marrio Rizzo.To upturn the economic downturn we need more scholars with an Austrian bent who could influence economic policy.

How can you beleive that by far most of the brightest minds that study economics worldwide are in a conspiracy against Austrians? Something does not pass the smell test. Why isn’t Austrian economics prevalent you ask? Simply because it does not make sense. While other economic theories kept evolving, improving methods, systems, models,(yes, models are extremely important regardless of the Austrians trying to deny it, using empirical data, etc. the Austrian school stayed in the dark ages. And yes, there is an important role for math and statistics and whatever method can give you the edge to explain and understand economics better. The ones that know statistics understand why it can be applied to social events. What you look for is not an exact answer but a better understanding of the issue in question. Instead of thinking about conspiracy theories, at least try to understand why the brightest minds do not accept the Austrian school. You may learn some from that exercise. Boy,
