Noah Smith — How the New Classicals drank the Austrians' milkshake


I was recently reflecting on the similarity of the assumption of rationality is to Mises the principle of action in Human Action, which he holds to be synthetic a priori, based on self-evidence rather than empirics. That was too far a stretch even for Hayek, who agreed with Popper on its (assumed) exemption from being able to be disconfirmed.

Noah parses the similarities and differences of Mises and New Classicalism, finding that while the two are significantly different, New Classicalism is in the same boat with Mises on the side of rationalism versus empiricism.

It's here ... 2001 again ?
or 2001 + 2008 combined ?
or just a local bump in the road down south ?

JUST REPORTING FROM FAMILY IN ARGENTINA :

price of a dress: U$D 1000

milk gallon : U$D 25

Meat : doubled

Hyperinflation has hit.

My prediction came true !

They are going to drive up prices and break into a new currency float as we speak !

This is MMT in RREAL time ?

MOVE ALL YOUR MUTUAL FUNDS AND STOCKS OUT OF EMERGING ECONOMIES ?

CALL OPTIONS ON AGRICULTURE OPTIONS COMMODITIES IN CHICAGO ?

OR PUT OPTIONS ?

IF THE PRICES ARE GOING UP IN ARGENTINA ... WILL THEY SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD ?

are these just internal price increases ?

am I telling the truth ?

don't let me lie to you, I could be wrong.

Does this mean the dollars are coming in Argentina and this is a temporary bump ?

watch the Nikkei tonight or whatever AG commodity index can tell you.

Chicago mercantile ?
