Keynes Would Have Seen It Coming

Keynes Would Have Seen It Coming

Or so we read in the Washington Post. Austrian business cycle theory is studiously avoided, of course, and “animal spirits” are back.

We get one paragraph about the Japanese stagnation of the 1990s, but no acknowledgment at all that none of the Keynesian tools accomplished a thing.

Have at this one, commenters.

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.
