The End of Bubble Blowing?

01/27/2015 Mark Thornton

In this fascinating interview, Mark Thornton explains how the Austrian business cycle predicted the housing bubble, and how those cashing in on it criticized him until the bubble burst. Dr. Thornton and host Justin Mohr also discuss the US economy and how it isn’t recovering, how bubble blowing from the fed might end, and the increasingly popular topic of low oil prices.

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.
