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.

Let me be fair, though, as I certainly don't read Ec. Inquiry on a regular basis. Do you have some recent citations of Great Depression-related articles by Austrian authors?

BTW, there is a very nice and quite fair treatment of the Austrians (who say they never get considered by mainstream economists) in Gene Smiley's new econ history textbook.

Exactly when did this thread become about the Austrians' interpretation of the depression? Last I checked it was about a tariff issue surrounding the civil war.
