    I'm glad that you portrayed Keynesian economics truthfully so that people can see the ridiculous nonsense it is.

    economics is nothing like a work of art. Austrian school economics is objectively better than Keynesianism and monetarism.

      I see you frequently give this same comment for PragerU videos, I gather you highly value what it offers; however, it would be more helpful for us all if you could be more specific. Thanks.

    Here's how I see them:
    - Classical: Money matters. People behave rationally and trade to produce individual economic benefits.
    - Keynsian: Money matters but just as a signal to people. People are irrational and/or act in self-interest to the detriment of the economy. We need to use money policy to control people's sentiments and encourage them to consume/produce more. My policies only last a year or two so I don't have to worry about inflation, moral hazard, devaluing savings, etc.
    - Monetary: (I'm not sure I make such a distinction)
    - Austrian: Money is just a tool but has no intrinsic meaning. People individually act rationally have different values that are incomparable to other people. Aggregate statistics using dollars are meaningless.
    In short: classical is "economy is strong because lots of things are made", keynsian is "economy is strong because lots of dollars moved around", austrian is "economy is a meaningless concept but the people are happy"

      Keynes "people are irrational and act in self interest to the detriment of the economy"... that doesnt sound irrational to me... it sounds like intelligence... and also sounds like a forced economy that isnt working...

      Humans do in fact engage in reflexive behavior, acting in response to stimuli without thought...or purpose.

    When I lived in a state where my perception was that most of the politicians were really listening to my ideas and trying to understand them, I read every word of their newsletters. Later, I lived in a state where the only responses I got from politicians were form letters AND I disagreed with at least 90% of what the politicians of both major parties were bragging about doing. I finally got so sick of it, I stopped reading their newsletters.

    Austrian Economics is REAL economics. It is the amalgamation of all economic thought leading up to Keynesianism... all other economic thought, is just economics with socialist central planning sprinkled into it.

    You can do better than this... at least I would hope. Monetarists DO NOT advocate the government decide how much money to print but that that decision be made as a steady rate determined by a stable gauge of economic growth. What about the Socialist/Fascist/Communist "schools"of thought on the matter?

    • @rreif5934
      @rreif5934 8 днів тому

      This. Moneterists recognize that monetary policy CAN affect the economy but don't advocate trying to do that. Small steady growth in the money supply promotes economic growth with minimal inflation.
