The group of short essays found at your link above is one of the most dishonest displays of malicious ignorance I have ever witnessed. Take this sh*t for example:
“...Socialism has been proposed in many forms, ranging from social democracy to anarcho-socialism. In the latter, workers would own companies that would compete on the free market, absent any government at all. As you can see, socialism is hardly synonymous with a central planning committee. But one thing socialism cannot be is a dictatorship — worker’s do not own anything if a totalitarian government tells them what to do. Mises and Hayek may have refuted the principle of economic totalitarianism, but they didn’t come close to refuting socialism. This is one reason why academia didn’t view their arguments against socialism as conclusive.”
That you would encourage the spreading of lies on this site does not speak well of you.
Sorry, but that’s the way it is.
BS. I warned you that the Kangas stuff was from a liberal site, but was written in English for the most part. That’s why I used it for the thread. I double checked the items and provided a link to more scholarly articles written at a higher level.
I find it amazing that you can find one of the goofy things that Kangas said and zero in on that, and miss all the rest. Did you bother to read any of the two Professor Caplan articles?
Did you just happen to notice that the Austrians don’t really do any numbers to back up their theories, and no testing ala the scientific method? Kangas, and Caplan also pointed out fallacies between the real world and the Austrian’s theories.
And though it is admittedly an ad hominem argument, what about ‘Ol Lew Rockwell being the Chairman of the von Mise org?
I went overboard to provide plenty of information about the Austrian school for your perusal. If all you want to do is find funny stuff to laugh at on Kangas, go to his “gun” articles. They are hilarious.
Now, pull your head out of your hind quarters, git yorself to that non-liberal link I provided, grab a cold beer or two, and start reading.
parsy, the honest and forthright!
