laughable. It's not uncommon for economists to either become disenchanted with the Austrian school or never pick it up at all because they weren't content with having Mises and Rothbard finish most of what needed to be deduced and it'd be far more interesting for them to adopt the pr...

  Austrians, you're going to have to back up and deconstruct their premises of how the discipline of economics should be approached, not through empirical testing and, when you do so, you'll inevitably come to blows with the limitation of modeling and aggregating a dynamic system that c...

  Milton Friedman was best when he was arguing for freedom through intuitive arguments, not econometrics or positivism. Friedman put forward some pretty inane theories when he was attempting to defend the monopolistic control and manipulation of the money supply as it pertained to aggr...

  Liquidity preference proponents thought money mattered. It's why it was even a preference.

  Murray Rothbard > Milton Friedman.

  Hell, Milton's own son is greater than him. I like Milton, but he's not the best out there.

  But, there have plenty of times where O'Reilly catches Stossel offguard and leaves him speechless. Stossel is actually not that sharp, but neither is O'Re...
