Austrian School internal disputes

I also posted this in the thread; I wanted to make sure you got it. Okay, so you're saying the main internal disputes are: 1) Debate over whether or not time preference is the *primary* explanation of interest rates. Are these three guys listed on different sides? 2) Role of entrepreneurship 3) free banking vs. other 4) inflationists/deflationists 5) a priori vs non a priori 6) Lachmann's radical subjectivism vs. other (more common) Yes? Also, I'm curious, what do you mean "inflationists" and "deflationists"?

I believe that Retopper is an honest man. I have too struggled with how we can keep PDAs in check in an anarchist society, before I was an anarchist. Don't get me wrong - I'm now an anarchist. But I don't think the arguments against Retopper are valid enough. So I think you are declaring "victory" even though I hadn't seen any sound arguments which disproved Retopper.

Welcome Back!

I'm going to post the same thing on Liberty Student's page. I'd like to say, "Welcome Back!" While I am mostly a lurker on the forums, I followed the threads that you two were actively involved in because I found that I learned a lot from you (and a few others, too).

Welcome Back!

Hi, just a question...

Noob here, I come from another forums land...

Anyways, I was debating how lax regulations on monetary credit are atleast to blame for booms and bust cycles, for as their may be overinvestment on the private sector, it does not involve massive investments by easy credit. Basically, easy credit = everybody gets their share and invests = at some point balance occurs...

I do afterall believe that Economy, and the universe, are laws of applied balance.

See Im a constant poster on an Anime Forum where there is quite a nice real issues section, and specifically a thread came up where I come to debate the Socialist/Marxist/Keyneist, whom obviously also absolutely despises the rich and their wealth and promotes coercive force as to regain back the true value of property, as the common ownership of the mans of production primarily.

Now I may be incorrect as to say that lax credit, and ImO the rquity credits moving the economy start the 2002 recesion where nothing really boomed aside of real estate and derivatives, is the primary cause if the current problem...

But under an inflationary system there is no motivant of savings, I call it the ultimate purchasing power as you own not through third parties and have yourself a little coushin for safety later on, and a debt driven path cannot, at such a massive point, be atleast covered up for a few years by more debt....

Sorry if this made no sense, I am just starting doing my real research and this website provides so many literature its awesome...

BtW, I give you the link so you can see for yourself... and these Forums are weird... not very clear...

Anyways, Im obviously the same user:

Sorry if I disturbed you, it was not my intention... BtW, I will start with some basic economics book I found... but would you consider as a first read, Hazlit, Rothbard or Mises?

Ill start with Keynes... if only for their political relevance.
