Note that the authors cannot get their "research" in a reputable journal such as Journal of Economic History or American Economic Review, which, believe me, will take ANYTHING that passes muster with the #s. What in the world are you talking about? Economic Inquiry is the OUP's journal for economics. I haven't heard of any reason to question it's reputation, and its been around for 40 years now. It seems to me that you are attempting to discredit an article you have not read in a publication you know little about by calling it names, and all because you don't want to hear what the article concludes.
It's amazing here that no one seems to bother to read what I say. I said in another post that it is considered a good, but "second tier" journal. Nothing wrong with Ec. Inquiry. But it is surprising (suscpicious?) that none of the Austrians have published articles on the Great Depression (there is an exception I'll mention) in Journal of Economic History (the BIGGIE for this topic) or American Economic Rview or Journal of Money Credit and Banking or Quarterly Review of Economics or Southern Economic Review.
Selgin (who has Austrian leanings, but I'm not sure how he classifies himself) did publish an article in JEH about the Depression, but not about money supply or the stock market, but about the "check tax" and regulation. It was a good one.
