After ninety years of work on the Austrian theory of the business cycle, and a shelf full of books and journal articles, it is rather alarming that Edmund Phelps could have gotten it so wrong. Greg Ransom at the Hayek Center draws attention to this aspect of the Phelps piece, calling it “a major embarassment for the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal.” He also runs the piece in its entirety.

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.
