And we can’t have that

And we can’t have that

An article over at The Economist comments on the Austrian business-cycle theory.

The article states, “The Austrians may have said smart things about the boom, but what about the bust? One criticism is that the Austrians offered a ‘counsel of despair’, suggesting that the authorities do nothing while a crisis blows itself out.”

The authorities do nothing? According to The Economist, we can’t have that.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
