11th Request Coadie -- you may reply here or on a separate thread (if you feel that's necessary), you have much to say about "Libertarian Economics" (really you've said every little), please enlighten the rest of us on what your preferred economic philosophy and school is. You apparently take issue with Free Market Capitalists... You're not playing shy are you?

You really didn't get it. I have very little to say about Libertarian economics.
That is why I asked because iknow no one else has much to say.

The Austrian school or von Mises is a joke. it is mostly philosophy and not backed as an empirical science.
Libertarian economics from all I can find are bogged down with idealism from 50 to 130 years ago. No one that acts like they know what Libertarian Econ looks like can say much more than you did.

Since the 1930s, no economists from the University of Vienna or any other Austrian university have become leading figures in the so-called Austrian school of economics.
So none of the Austrian Universities peddle "austrian Economics"

When the Austrian school begins rambling about money, exchange and currency, their incoherrent concepts failed 200 years ago.

Re: Libertarian economics.

We know limited government can and does work. We know large government can and does work. We've seen abuses of both. However, philosophically, large government is more prone to error and, yes Lord Acton, it inevitably corrupts. It also philosophically violates the value of man (whether you are godless, or you believe that man is created in the Image of God). At least that's my opinion. I certainly don't think God has a preferred economy. The Kingdom of God is a City within a City, and is very much about bearing one another's burdens and living selfless... so that doesn't fit with secular government... nor do I want it to. THe smaller government protects my rights to function as a citizen of the City within the City.

So please explain how Free Market ideology is not conservative, and describe your own view? 13th Request!

You still talk big and can't explain Libertarian Economics.

Full of baloney. True conservitives avoid using words like ideology and definitely don't lean on your emotional arguments. We avoid regurgitated arguments from fiction writers. Leftists like to argue "philosophically"..

They are ungrounded in reality. Fiction writers are treated as heros.
