  • Keynesian economics has had enough time in the American economy to be shown as a failure. It is time to allow the Austrian school time in the American economy.

  • Murphy is the man. I am a stubborn, stubborn person, and he almost single-handedly changed my political affiliation from republican/small government to Anarcho-Capitalist with his "Chaos Theory: 2 essays on Market Anarchy". His ability to predict objections to his theories and answer them is second only to Murray Rothbard from what I hav read.

  • @mjbarrowful Check out @Praxgirl's channel for a great series of videos on the Austrian method, praxeology.

  • Of course multiplying by two and adding three won't change the order... Do you know how linear functions work, Murphy?

  • Lol. I've already that essay; I just didn't know who wrote it.

  • Austrian economics = The results cannot be estimated, so I don't care, but I am still right.

    Neoclassical economics = This is best way to approximate the results.

    Keynesian economics = A load of BS

  • Neoclassical economists know the probability distribution, not the events with certainty. They know the probabilities with certainty.

  • @peepnklown Keynes himself said that Keynesian economics should only be used for temporary solutions.

  • The Austrian school uses logic in its theories, not empiricism; so anyone who dismisses Austrian economics as unscientific must also dismiss logic, geometry, and mathematics in general as unscientific: the root of all these sciences is logic. Empirical data is neither a proof nor a disproof of theory. Empirical data is only useful in physical sciences where the actors are homogeneous (ie two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom make water); economics involves heterogeneous actors (people).

  • This is basically my whole 2000 word research essay, woo!! And now to find some fake references. Love youtube!

  • @mjbarrowful I think he did answer it... or, if you don't think he was detailed enough look up praxeology on youtube.

  • I've heard the austrian school is unscientific and rejects empirical data. Anybody know how to respond to these criticisms?
