Attention readers:

You may be interested to know that financial deregulation and pure unchecked greed were not the cause of, but are in fact the obvious solution to, the ongoing economic crisis. What’s more, none of this would have happened if not for the Federal Reserve and the 16th amendment — Hayek, Friedman et al predicted it!

If this strikes you as a compelling thesis, slap on a Ron Paul button, wipe the semen off your copy of Atlas Shrugged, and head on down to the IMU for what promises to be a stimulating series of conversations.

Hello,

In light of the near total meltdown of our banking and financial systems in Fall of 2008, much more attention is being paid to the field of economics. In particular, many more scholars are paying attention to the Austrian School of Economics, which unlike other economic schools of thought, saw our current crisis coming years ahead of time and have a theory to explain the events we have seen.

Are you skeptical of multi-trillion dollar deficits and debt?

Do you trust a monolithic, all-powerful central bank that centrally plans monetary policy and sets interest rates?

Do you believe that freedom, and not government, should be the driving force in the economy?

If you are concerned about any of the above questions, then you will likely be interested in attending the regular weekly meetings of ‘Students for Austrian Economics (UI)’

Come Join Us! Every Thursday at 6 pm, beginning this Thursday, September 10th, in the Kirkwood Room (257) of the Iowa Memorial Union.

We will be studying economics in the traditions of the great 20th century economists Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard!

We will begin introducing the basic concepts that make the Austrian School distinct and follow up with pertinent conversation about current events.

It will be a wonderful, intellectually stimulating time!
Thank you for your consideration,

-Students for Austrian Economics-
