Comment on Kling

Is Kling embarrassed that he didn’t get a perfect score? Is it really so hard for him to understand that if a person doesn’t share the major beliefs of a typical Austrian economist, then the Austrian would not consider this person to be an Austrian economist?

Kling’s score of 78 means that he is not agree with most Austrians on all matters of economics, but he agrees on much.  So what’s the big deal?  That’s what the point of the test is.  If everybody got a 100 percent regardless of his or her personal beliefs, it would be a stupid test, wouldn’t it?

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
