It took a while for the vital myth-shattering ideas of Galileo, Bruno, and Copernicus to spread. We find ourselves in a similar situation. Whether homo sapiens ultimately self-destroys in another tribalistic world war, Socialist revolution, environmental disaster, or CovidMania-like self-mutilating economic lockdowns, it will all come down to whether the ideas of the ‘The Austrian School of Economics’ reach leaders in time.

If you know where to look you can easily see how the vital wisdom of ‘The Austrians’ is spreading. Via his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, former US congressman Dr. Ron Paul would go from college campus to college campus getting thousands of young people excited about learning ‘Austrian Economics’ and men like 1974 Nobel Laureate in Economics F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Murray N. Rothbard. The ‘Misesian strategy’ to save civilization of believing that economics ‘is the main and proper study of every citizen’ and that everyone can understand economics and thus how real freedom and the world works, finally somewhat triumphed in November 2023 when Javier Milei won the presidency of Argentina. In an interview with Ben Shapiro Milei explained how the intellectual revolution grew from economic education, he mentions:

“this time young people were really educated. We would organize what we called the concerts. They were political rallies... at these rallies we had stands...with books. Minister Bullrich...said something brilliant, “you should pay more attention to what Milei is doing. It's not normal for a politician to be talking to 20 or 30 thousand people about Hayek.” Young people started to evangelize a home with their parents and grandparents.”

This book does the following:

1. Provides a concise introduction to ‘Austrian Economics’ thoroughly grounded on the evolutionary paradigm provided by its founder Carl Menger.
2. We apply Menger and Hayek’s insights into the evolution of the socioeconomic order to properly understand the co-evolution of culture and the economy.
3. We apply such wisdom to easily understand how homo sapiens, fooled by the growing complexity of the socioeconomic order fooled himself into Socialist mythology and resulting socioeconomic chaos.
4. Wherever there is complexity, homo sapiens fools himself with mythology, and if the myths are backed or aided by competition-immune government force, the myths are harder to change. We will further discuss myths like Germ Theory which arises from biochemical complexity, and antisemitism and resulting Zionism and its consequences like WWII and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and all that emerges from it, which can both be seen as myths which fuel each other and arise from the immense complexity of history and the co-evolution of identities-culture with the market order. Important relevant history about WWI and WWII and more will be summarized as well. All looked at in a blame-free evolutionary manner that focuses on identifying the understandable fallacies and errors which then led to the hatreds and wars-conflicts, etc. We also provide a framework for a One State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on sound free market economics. And much, much, much more wisdom from 'The Austrians'
