I read this was Michael Jackson’s favorite song.

What a mentality!

It is short-run Keynesianism but there is a glitch. We are in the Keynesian long-run!

The bubble machine is going haywire, the singers are choking on all of the bubbles, the crowd panics and trample each other trying to get out of there. It is not a pretty scene!

Nice one. Lately I’ve been thinking of the Fed like some poor scientist working on a perpetual motion machine. As a kid I remember thinking that with enough magnets and ball-bearings, maybe it is possible. Monetarism is similar, they try to make something out of nothing. That’s a somewhat generous way of looking at their actions, I guess.

Q: Since the entire world continues to play the Kensynesian game, and there is no alternative country to invest in other than the U.S. Why bother learning and subscribing to Austrian theory?

“Since the entire world continues to play the Kensynesian game, and there is no alternative country to invest in other than the U.S. Why bother learning and subscribing to Austrian theory?”

Since most of the world still thinks the Earth was created in the last 6000-10000 years, what’s the point in studying ancient-Earth theories of geology?

You do raise a great point though: not enough has been done to apply Austrian thinking to Keynesian fiat money realities. It’s become clear that the “hyperinflation is coming!” view popular among many armchair contrarians these days is oversimplified, for example. (It might come eventually, but saying that isn’t very helpful.)
