Ludwig Von Mises Institute in Auburn Alabama

I know. In 1929 Ludwig von Mises refused a prominent position at the Kreditanstalt Bank warning that their was a disaster coming. My point was that this book does not delve into anything close to an academic examination of Mises and the Austrian School. What it does do is present one person's experiences and opinion about Mises and they just happen to be glowing. Just because Mises was right does not mean that Paul fawning over Mises counts as anything more than ass kissing.

I am just reading your comment regarding Mises...I just want to say that the last time things were falling apart this way, Von Mises had first predicted it, and second attempted to warn the people around him...The Great Depression can happen again, and we are in danger of it occurring with this new Administration.To think otherwise is to be arrogant. If Ludwig Von Mises were alive today, his warnings would be as loud as they were in the 1920's, and ignored.George Satayana was right.

Is there anywhere in North America that teaches austrian economics?
SSSLLLAAYYEEERRRR (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
There is a lot of writing from more educated(Paul is a medical not academic doctor) historians/economist/political philosophers etc who have written very complex books on the subject of free markets, commodity money, marginal utility(subjective theory of value) and even market anarchy. This is not the piece to read. It is definitely a puff piece to commemorate Mises.

Maybe if the USA would elect more educated economists and less dirty rotten lying lawyers whose profession is that of selling out to the highest bidder, we wouldnt be in the financial pickle we find ourselves in today.

WEll Friedman switched to monetarist theory more but he definitely did favor the Austrian views in many regards, especially like being in favor of free markets and keeping government limited. He was in favor of central banking to determine money supply but everything else to be free market. Austrian economics holds that even what is to be used as money should be determined in the market...and that is of course the view I agree with. Still, Friedman was a very important contributor to economics

you can't really PROVE Austrian economics. BUT some of the most Biggest economist who were keynesian like milton friedman did change his views to that of ron pauls. |
