Gene Simmons Says The Fed Should Be Eliminated

And most of the members of the Flat Earth Society know that all this talk of roundness and spheres and stuff is simply bunk. While those members who don't, at least like to pretend it is, for career reasons within the society.....

Austrian Economics is no more controversial than positing that economics (you know, the stuff "economists" are supposed to remember from introductory economics (often called "micro economics" these days) ) does not magically stop applying, just because the interacting economic agents they happen to be studying decide to form what they call a government.

The various non Austrian religions, on the other hand, profess to believe (at least in public; for political reasons, if nothing else) that the mere act establishing some form of political hierarchy amongst the economic actors in a group, suddenly makes economics invalid. And that the correct method for predicting and describing actors' interactions are, instead, various brands of so called "macro" economics.

Which the more sentient and honest of them, for a while at least, did try to reconcile with economics. But then, when that project did not pan out, the "macro" cultists instead started claiming economics just somehow does not apply, and that whatever their personal "macro" guru of choice waxed on about, were somehow a better description of reality. Just because, you know.

Except for perhaps in the most devout corners of off shoots like "behavioral economics" (as opposed to economics not dealing with behavior, I suppose...), even self proclaimed "main stream" economists have little problem sticking to economics when charged with analyzing interactions in the poultry market.

Yet when a much smaller number of people than those interacting to form the poultry market, happen to huddle together on some European rock and hail a ruler, suddenly economics no longer apply to them, and instead their behavior is explained by "aggregate" this, "aggregate" that, with the only constant being that they'd supposedly all be better off if they only let their rulers dictate more of their private affairs.

"Most of the 20,000+ people in the American Economics Association who know that Austrian economics is bunk."

Do you know "most" of them and their considered analysis of the entire scope of AE(Austrian Economics? What is 20,000 minus "Most"?

X number of people all agree? Wow! Perhaps a trillion flys are correct then and we should all eat shit?

"...people in the American Economics Association who know that Austrian economics is bunk."

Does the AEA treat all economic philosophies in the disrespectful manner which you describe, or is AE an exception?
If it is, then what makes it unique in this regard?
If not, then as the AEA, is a learned society of philosophers of economic theory, your claim is specious and false. Opinions are one thing, objective facts are quite another, and not everyone, or even "most" at AEA agree with your opinion.

How does this - abstract-number of people that you seemingly pulled from your ass -"KNOW" that AE is bunk? How did they all reach a consensus on the entirety of this one Economic Philosophy? Where is their literature and study, whereupon they all agreed that AE was bunk?

It's as logical as creation science.i>

On what particular area of AE do you base your assertion?

Do you have an original thought on the subject, or are you content to hide behind the skirts of the AEA?
