I just ran accross this link: http://www.axiomaticeconomics.com/critiques/critiques12.php?gclid=CKzmntn__ZACFQIUPAoddEeq1A

in the Gmail add collumn (making some reference to Ron Paul) and I just had to post it here to see how people responded within the Misian community. This site claims to have hammered the final nails in the coffin of Austrian economics; however, dispite my ignorance in economics, I feel like this article makes a bunch of posulations and assertions which don't seem to hold up or have any backing. Regardless, I just wanted to hear more about these issues from economically minded people.

 

thanks,

Isaac

I believe on that same site you should find an essay by Robert Murphy critiquing the critique. The guy said he'd pay someone to do so and I've heard he actually paid up.

I've seen this before and not devoted much time to it, but it seems like a crank who has too much time on his hands. He seems to bother neoclassical economists just as much. Apparently Roger Garrison will also be dealing with his statements. He's got a reputation of harassing people, following them around etc. Really odd behaviour for a supposed scholar.

This guy sends me long manifestos in the mail from time to time.  They never seemed to make any sense to me.
