Most of the professional economists within the Austrian camp did go to mainstream schools and were taught a good deal of Keynesianism, I am sure. I would not say that this could be said the other way around. <br /><br />Daniel does make great efforts to understand the Austrian school, which is one of the reasons that I respect him. While I know that he has read some Hayek, I am not sure whether he has read the treatises by Mises and Rothbard (HA and/or MES). I imagine that this has more to do with his schedule and work, but I do think that it would be a place to start for somebody who shows an inquisitive interest. <br /><br />As I have said before, I learn far more from those that I disagree with than from those that I agree with. The reason that I say this is that when I read those that I agree with, what I am reading typically only reinforces what I already know. However, if you pay attention to the other side, it challenges your own beliefs and you must then look at the merits of your own beliefs against those of the other side. It forces you to use your own judgement and knowledge to compare and contrast two different ideas and then to make a decision upon which is correct; sometimes the other side makes good points that you then adopt. This is what I believe to be at the heart of learning and knowledge-- using critical judgement and then deciding-- not merely memorizing what you agree with through reinforcement. <br /><br />I won't always agree with Daniel (I'll more than likely disagree), but he "gets it", I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-83454420202778361182011-12-03T23:11:40.173-05:002011-12-03T23:11:40.173-05:00You wrote that?
