Uh…since when is Milton Friedman an Austrian?
To the OP, this has been raised a number of times:
How Do Austrians Explain the Post-WW2 Economy?
GDP growth during the high tax periods in the '50’s
WWII Ended the Great Depression
Where did post WW2 savings come from?
A friend’s quip about World War 2 Debt
Did the New Deal really propel the post war U.S. economy?
Can anyone help me deconstruct this Statist nonsense?
They Tell Us The New Deal Worked!
Rothbard: World War 2 ended the Great Depression?
New Deal: Saved the Country from Capitalism
regulation and financial/economic crisis
U.S. ‘Healthy’ economy during times of high taxes and high rate of restrictions/regulations
I’ll add more as I think of them.
