Mr. Palmer,

Fair enough. I think I agree with you, if that’s the case.

Thank you! I’ll read it.

But what makes you think I’m not “an Austrian”? It’s a matter of definition; I distinguish between learning and applying the insights of the Austrian economists and being a member of a cult. I’m quite fond of Mises, Hayek, Menger, and others and have learned from them, but I don’t consider any of them infallible.

Best,
TGP

Mr. Palmer,

I know you are not fond of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and you are not an “Austrian”, but I’d like to share a piece I wrote as a Mises Daily on the “depression within the depression”: Dangerous Lessons of 1937.

(Note: The article states that general price inflation was 31%; that figure should be 11%.)

I thought you would enjoy the article, given your comment on Rethinking the Great Depression.

Cheers,

Jonathan
