Depends on which “Austrian” you’re referring, there was one Austrian, I think his name was “Shickelgruber” who very wrong.

Obviously, in this context (macroeconomics), “Austrians” refers the Austrian school of economics.

Only a total boob would be confused by this, so it’s not worth bringing up that fellow with the small mustache.

If you want a primer on Austrian Economics,,,,here is a link...http://www.mises.org/etexts/austrian.asp

Ludwig Von Mises and Frederick Hayek were probably the two most prominent 20th century economists who espoused the Austrain school thought.

Ron Paul sometimes channels Von Mises when he talks about paper money. One of my favorite Mises quotes is ‘Gov’t is the only entity that can take a valuable commodity like paper and render it worthless merely by apply ink’

Hillsdale college in Michigan houses all of Mises original works and my son is studying economics there. His professors have some interesting thoughts on what our gov’t is doing currently.
