The Austrian School on the Economic Crisis

by | Sep 27, 2008 | Stress Blog | 17 comments

Last week I was honored to be asked by Ron Paul‘s Campaign for Liberty if we could arrange to work together on a project to interview the best of the Austrian school of economics, whose understanding and love of capitalism necessitates their complete and total opposition to corporate welfare of any description. And so we did.

What causes the business cycle? Is the bailout necessary? How does fractional reserve banking work? What is the relationship between inflationary money and empire? Is everything wrong in the world Woodrow Wilson’s fault? Is there a better way?
