My Reply to Krugman on Austrian Business-Cycle Theory, Robert P. Murphy

My Reply to Krugman on Austrian Business-Cycle Theory


Conclusion

I do not claim that the Austrian theory of the business cycle captures every pertinent feature of modern recessions. What I do claim is that a theory — including any of Paul Krugman’s Keynesian models — that neglects the distortion of the capital structure during boom periods cannot possibly hope to accurately prescribe policy solutions after a crash.
