I find that hard to believe. Please list which of the Mises books you have read and when.

I read them on the von mises website. I think I printed it out about 4 or 5 years ago? I didn’t think the guy was stupid or anything. My whole curiosity here got started because even after this massive screwing by Wall Street, which will probably send our country into a prolonged depression, there were still the folks on FR who were like oblivious to Wall Street playing any part in it. Everything wrong was a result of gov’t or the poor folks. Just anybody but Wall Street, and a lot were like von Mises types, so I got to researching the Austrian School.

Come to find out, with the Austrian Schoolers, EVERYTHING is the gov’ts fault. So I guess if we lived in the Garden of Eden, we wouldn’t need gov’t. But we don’t, so we need something more out of our economists than “it’s the gov’t fault.”
