Right, so it's not a surprise that you have no idea how any other economic schools work.

Nine times out of ten it's George Mason University.

If not it's the University of Chicago.

Whichever school it was, he should ask for a refund. Economists generally believe "Austrian" economics to be little more than theology.

Modern economists, by which, I mean anyone who has made any significant contributions in the last 50 years or so... Prefer to have at least some empirical evidence for their ideas lest they be subject to ridicule by their profession.

Post self-deleted by Astrum Nigrum.

there is evidence of how good the chicago school of economics functions in the real world. pinochet forced their economics principles on the chilean populace. there was indeed an economic boom (coupled with exploding public debt and of course massive repression. after all you cannot stay in power without force when you take away a lot of the support for the poorer parts of the population). but this experiment failed spectacularly with the economic crisis just 9 years after the coup, that not only made it necessary to socialise the losses of banks and corporations but also to introduce price controls on food items.

Von Mises Institute is what i attended, ranked the best university in the world

Ahaha, I was only joking when I offered that comment. Clearly you are either a troll or a very pitiable person indeed.

Also, I can't resist asking, ranked 'best university' by whom?

what in your opinion is the most right wing authoritarian ideology?

Libertarian capitalists wrote:I have been joking all this time

I still think you should try to get a refund from them. Even if you never attended. We all should ;)

Fascism or Corporatism.

I'd say pinochet was a corporatist.

How do apply empirical evidence to economics? Do you have a lab with people naturally acting as economic actors? Can these results be reproduced to the point?

You need to stop listening to the treehuggers, me thinks. ;)

I did not say they are particularly successful. This is by no means an endorsement of modern economists.

And yet - and yet modern economists fully support the very system anarchists critique. Certainly, if you would critique the unorthodox Austrian School of being unscientific, at least say that's true of Monetarism or Neo-Keynesianism as well, whom wish to use individual humans as lab rats for some grand social experiment on how they can enrich the corporations the best. And I thought Naziism was unscientific in it's quest to prove Aryan superiority. >>

That's fair enough retort anyway. But avoid getting into the business where the man in crutches is throwing rocks at the man in a wheelchair.

Again, I don't agree with any economist who supports any form of capitalism. It is just that the "Austrian economists" are a special breed who reject even the illusion of being reasonable.
