Austrian Business Cycle Theory

It is critical for everyone to understand Austrian Business Cycle Theory because it affects everything. The main idea is rather simple while some of the details are a bit more hard to understand.  Austrian Business Cycle theory simply states that  booms and busts exist and that they are not unpredictable market phenomena. They are in fact very predictable because they are caused by an outside agency (central banks in most cases).  This allows the average person to avoid massive monetary losses by allowing them to identify bubbles before they pop such as the dot com bubble and the housing bubble.  This also allows the average person to make huge profits because they can identify the next bubble at the ground floor and place their money there before the public enters that particular bubble sector in mass.

Here is the famous Peter Schiff video where he predicts exactly how the crash of September 2008 happened (started in sub-prime, spread to the rest of the housing sector and then finally to the financial sector).  My favorite part is how he takes on Art Laffer (creator of the famous Laffer Curve which absurdly proposes that lower taxes bring in more tax revenue; this idea is actually believed to be true by people you may have heard of such as Sean Hannity.) Laffer is also one of the most well known of the Reagan era supply side economists that act like they are free market but, as demonstrated in this video, are actually just soft keynesians.

 

Here is an explanation of the Austrian Business Cycle from an academic perspective:

  4. You can find catalytic gas heaters in a range of sizes to warm both small and large rooms.
    Now that two children are living at the house I installed some electric
    heaters in the rooms that we are using before the winter but when the temperatures got
    cold I needed something for the main room that we are
    not using yet. If you take a look around, you’ll see that more and more people are
    using these massively cool technological gadgets to
    drastically improve and enhance their lives.

    I don’t usually see much value in this kind of exclusive parking setup, but in this
    case I see how it meets a fairly specific scenario – if you’re going to the station for a long journey
    only to return several days later. The parking area is
    a small room behind a locked door, accessible from outside even if the station itself is closed,
    there are two-tier stands, packing the bikes together for maximum possible capacity.
    That takes a lot of time, even on many threads.

    The control room will have a TV showing where all buses are
    in real time, and a connection to the city’s traffic control.
    In the future this room will have a station for servicing
    ticketing machines, to avoid sending buses back to the depot.
