Shattering 20 Myths of the Austrian School: The Untold Triumph of Free Markets
Expose the Lies Holding Back Prosperity—Discover How Mises, Hayek, and Logical Liberty Predict Crises and Unlock Your Economic FutureBy Miguel Thornton
Length5h 30m
About this audiobook
Shattering 20 Myths of the Austrian School: The Untold Triumph of Free Markets exposes the stories that turned Mises, Hayek and their heirs into caricatures, from "unscientific dogma" and "trickle-down ideology" to heartless capitalism and inevitable collapse. Drawing on historical data, declassified archives and real-world case studies, Miguel Thornton shows how Austrian economics actually anticipated bubbles, inflation and socialist breakdowns, and why its defense of sound money, entrepreneurial freedom and limited government still matters for anyone worried about debt, housing, wages or the next crisis.
