You are tough. I did not realize there was a concern that people would assume that Austria presently follows the economic guidelines set forth in "Human Action." What name would you prefer that the "Austrians" call themselves -- the "Neoclassical Marginal Subjectivists Who Do Not Agree With The Chicagoans On Monetary Policy And Certain Methodological Issues?" You realize that the relabeling costs alone will doom your proposal. >> The A school may have studied Keynes but they have not abandoned Say's >> Law. That colors all of their thinking. I suppose in some sense that is true, but that is the (a) heart of the argument, is it not? It is certainly not ignorance.
