Thanks

Thanks. I've actually lurked at RationalWiki for a while, but I decided to register when I saw the Austrian economics-related stuff was lacking in content. I'm not an econ student or anything, but I've been trying to get a layman's understanding of it since 2008 and fighting off the proliferation of Austrian junk on the internet and the persistently trollish Austrian cranks and Schiff-tards on message boards is actually pretty difficult.

I understand quite little of that but I assume the proliferation of Austrian cranks and Schiff-tards is something that's worth fighting off (:

Definitely. Austrian school is so spectacularly stupid -- it's so wrong it's not even wrong from top to bottom. It's the economic equivalent of creationism. That's pretty bad considering there is no economic equivalent of evolution. Being so obviously wrong in a field where there are very few "right" answers is really an accomplishment. :D

I would not discount it quite so totally, but its a priori nature cripples it badly.
