Ask an Austrian Economist Anything, and Free Book Month Continues

Tonight is the monthly live Q&A session that accompanies the downloadable courses at my Liberty Classroom. Jeff Herbener will be taking members’ questions for 90 minutes, beginning at 9pm ET. Click “Live Sessions” at the top of the Liberty Classroom page around that time, and you’re there.

Not yet a member? Join today and take part in my free book giveaway, inspired by Max Keiser.

And in case you haven’t seen this video, it’s a great little discussion of how Jeff, a mainstream economist, discovered the Austrian School in the middle of his teaching career, and changed course accordingly.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    I tuned into this last night and it was GREAT! My particular question even got addressed.
    Professor Herbener suggested I look at Say’s Law regarding supply and demand (which came first?) to see why supply (production) predates demand (purchase) . Well, now I did and am fully armed to combat my benighted Keynesian friends. Oh, I’m sorry, I meant to say “I will will bring the light of knowledge to them”.
    I just saw that replacing the term “supply” with “production” and the term “demand” with “purchase” makes the whole thing obvious.
    My Keynesian friend was confusing “demand” with “desire”.
