Back in the early days of the GFC, I was still a Keynesian. mainly due to my unqualified (NIL Degree) views on economics and history.
I was quite impressed by the way the world seemed to get together in unison to 'fix' the crisis with co-ordinated spending and cash injections etc etc etc. It gradually dawned on my that a debt problem was simply being compounded with ever more debt!
As I read more and more, I gravitated to the views of von Mises etc, and soon left the FDR/Keynes 'theories' and ended up an Austrian! (NOT Australian!)
Since those days, I have read and watched countless works in print and film of the Austrian views. Detlev is VERY certain of his views and puts them in no uncertain manner with none of this "may", "could", "up to" and so on, much like a global warming scientist. Detlev has addressed the von Mises Institute often, and I think what he has to say will interest you.
He comes right out and calls it all as certain! I recommend him to you.
