Oh I see! This is also why they're wrong! Keynesians have a monopoly on truth. Well, I'm off to pray on the General Theory before I go night-night.

Never heard Austrians being called "Supply Siders"... in what way are they?

They aren't Keynesians.

Am I the only one that finds that this man bases his entire argument off ad hominems and anecdotes from his conversation with a mysterious (and apparently very uninformed) Austrian? To discredit the ABCT he cites the Tulip Bubble (which I read an extensive article on) and to discredit everything else he asks why Austrians are not accepted in academia. I've never seen someone so fully ignore arguments and so fully focus on attacking a group of persons.

His most recent onslaught against the neo-confederate closet fascists that make up the Austrian School. Be afraid, it's in three parts.

The title of the series is 'Austrian School Evil'

hail Mises.

I did not know that, otherwise I wouldn't have made that rather unfunny joke. I thought your username was some kind of anime reference or something. So is there anything else I could say that would make me look like a bigger asshole? Cos I doubt it. :-p

ladyattis, you are actually a man. I am disappointed.

I believe I pointed out a long time ago that I was a TS in pre-transition. O_O

I don't even really see an argument from him tbh.

Lol, that's because there wasn't one.

I can't wait to see how him manages to expound upon his "argument" in this coming video.

I encourage everyone to go that youtube video and post something like this in the comments section:

"so-and-so (e.g. Robert Murphy) has a degree from such-and-such university (e.g. NYU) and he's of the Austrian school."

"so-and-so (e.g. Walter Block) has a degree from such-and-such university (e.g. Columbia), he teaches at this university (e.g. Loyola, New Orleans), and he's of the Austrian school."

" (Keynes thought) Roosevelt was an economic illiterate" at least RH and JMK got one thing right.

The first minute or two about the Great Depression is hilarious. Apparently there was no interference in the market and then boom!! Depression!

Apparently Friedman's ideas, more the ideas of cutting taxes and spending rather than his monetary policies, caused Latin American countries to become poor and thus vote socialist.

At least he believes war is bad for the economy.

The crux of his argument, like in his previous video, is ex cathedra. The idea is that he has a degree, you don't. And all the respected people say that Austrians are cranks. The rest is just window dressing.

He's just too angry.

He talks about people not having degrees, like Peter Schiff & Ron Paul, in Economics & so forth. I'm new to economics, but already noticed his flawed rhetoric and how he presents ad hominem.

Someone should comment on Radiohogan’s channel that Keynes didn't have a degree in economics either. Keynes degree was in mathematics. Maybe that's the reason, "Where Keynes went wrong."

He states that Ron Paul is just a "country" doctor who's never studied economics. I guess all "country" doctors get undergraduate degrees in biology and their M.D.'s from Duke University. Again he attacks the individual’s intelligence in a very grotesque and stupid manner.

I would like some critiques on this video Radiohogan presents:
