Since last September, I have been closely following the credit crisis based on the belief that there is no better way to understand how the economy and financial system work then to watch them fall apart.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Are you from the Austrian or Chicago school?<BR/><BR/>I was never completely comfortable with either school of economics. However, I don't believe faulty economic theories are to blame for our current crisis. The root of today's current problems is that America spent and consumed too much. Any nation that lacks fiscal discipline will run itself into the ground eventually, irrespective of whatever economic theories it champions.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Are you a Ron Paul admirer?<BR/><BR/>I am not a Ron Paul admirer, although I do agree with him on many economic issues. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Do you frequent Lewrockwell.com or mises.org?<BR/><BR/>Not really, sorry. Simply tracking developments in the economy is difficult enough without worrying about politics and solutions.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"What are your thoughts on the Monetary Reform Act proposed at TheMoneyMasters.com?"<BR/><BR/>The Monetary Reform Act proposed at TheMoneyMasters.com sounds interesting in theory, but trying to implement it would wreck the economy. Even if it could be implemented, it is so harmful for vested interests in the current system that it politically stands to chance of passing congress. Finally, I believe the current financial order needs to collapse and be discredited before we start of building up again. We need clarity about government interventions in the credit/stock markets and the COMEX before we decide on a new economic system.Eric deCarbonnelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08023745289801416061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-44779186698440840392008-10-30T07:24:00.000-07:002008-10-30T07:24:00.000-07:00Hey Eric<BR/><BR/>New here. Got pointed to your site via Stevequayle.com. Can you give us a little more about your background. Are you from the Austrian or Chicago school? Are you a Ron Paul admirer, and do you frequent Lewrockwell.com or mises.org? What are your thoughts on the Monetary Reform Act proposed at TheMoneyMasters.com?fooser77http://www.blogger.com/profile/11896368046429483789noreply@blogger.com
