  1. @michael_r_smith Agreed, he's not the best representative, but it's from the orthodox thinking of the school. less than a minute ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  2. @michael_r_smith See here: digitaljournal.com/article/277904 2 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  3. @jordynmarcellus Yeah, that's exactly the problem. 6 minutes ago via web in reply to jordynmarcellus
  4. @stephenfgordon Yeah. Swiss and Danish yields also negative. Craziness. 6 minutes ago via web in reply to stephenfgordon
  5. @michael_r_smith But Schiff said there'd be a huge *price* inflation, which ended up being horribly, laughably incorrect. 8 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  6. We're making the same monetary policy mistakes we did in the 1930s (and in the 1990s in Japan). There's absolutely no excuse. 9 minutes ago via web
  7. I think I'm going to be ill. How is this not the biggest story anywhere? Why are we not grilling our central bankers? 9 minutes ago via web
  8. @c_9 Basically means investment climate so bad, people paying for the privledge for government to look after their money. 10 minutes ago via web in reply to c_9
  9. Wow, German nominal yields went NEGATIVE?!? today: online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-… @rgilroy 12 minutes ago via web
  10. @dgardner I need to develop a tautological model. It would come in handy. 12 minutes ago via web in reply to dgardner
  11. @dgardner Rubin's model suggests high oil prices causes low oil prices. Hard to see how that's possible. 13 minutes ago via web in reply to dgardner
  12. @dgardner Yes, exactly. I should diagram and video it. Basic AD/AS model. 15 minutes ago via web in reply to dgardner
  13. @dgardner His theory makes no sense. A supply-side shock due to oil should look something like stagflation. US has record low inflation. 16 minutes ago via web in reply to dgardner
  14. @michael_r_smith You can have asset bubbles in a low inflation environment. I don't think anyone denies that. 17 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  15. @michael_r_smith But if you're going back to the 1970s RE: Keynesians, yes, I'd agree. 26 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  16. @michael_r_smith Sure, the Austrians have got a number things right. But their monetary policy analysis has always been poor. 26 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  17. @michael_r_smith When have we had high inflation in the last 30 years? 27 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
  18. @michael_r_smith What I'd love to see the Austrians explain to us why all the inflation they predicted never happened. 31 minutes ago via web in reply to michael_r_smith
