It may be unfair to lump the specific fallacy presented above as the essence of Austrian economics, or as something its true believers follow. But there undoubtedly is a strain of dedicated Mises/Rothbard followers who insist on it, and these are the Austrians I'm criticizing. I'll refer to this link again. Many major Austrians are ready to pounce all over Hayek at a moment's notice.
P.S. Hey, gonna go ahead and guess you're the same Peter Twieg from my class. This is Tim McGowan.
Oh, hey Tim. :D Not particularly surprised to see other classmates in these parts, but it's still a neat occurrence.
And of course I recognize the dogmatic tendencies of the Mises Institute crowd, but I guess my broader worry is that their particular style becomes conflated with Austrian economics in general. It's my impression that these failings aren't recognized in GMU's self-identified Austrian faculty, but I could be wrong.
Personally, I'm not too familiar with that group of Austrians other than that they typically claim to get everything from Mises, and this may also be wrong. So, yes, what I said may only apply to the Mises Institute crowd.
