Mises U was the one of the best weeks of my life. How nerdish is that?
I am curious to see if there is consensus around if there can be a business cycle if we were on a 100% gold standard?
Here is the schedule for Mises University 2010 (PDF):
Here is the link to the Event Page:
Hopefully I will be able to go to Mises University next year, it would be great to meet with so many people with similar views, and of course listen to all of the economics speeches.
I’ll be there. We should hit the local bars the first night there.
Thanks for posting the schedule. I am having a hard time choosing between which lecture to attend Further consideratoin of theory and interest or Theory and History to attend. The rest of the lectures I pretty much know which to attend.
So who’s going to take the test lol? Even if I don’t win, I would like to get the certificate that I passed with a good grade on it. My professor pulled some strings to help me get in so i would like to show him his time wasn’t ill spent.
It really sucks that Raico isn’t going to be there this year. It seems pretty flimsy on the history side. It will still be interesting to go to though.
does every talk eventually make it into podcast form? If I catch all of those, is the only thing I am missing out on is being able to socialize with a bunch of other Austrians?
Hi Jeremy,
I would really appreciate if you could ask the following and tell me what they say. Both Mises and Rothbard when discussing the law of association mention that in order to generalise it beyond the case of 2 individuals that can produce 2 goods one needs to incorporate economic calculation. How does one explicitly accomplish this task/derivation, and has anyone done it in the past that they can cite as a source? I think Rothbard mentions one but my memory fails me. If I can’t find one, this is one of the praxeological excercises I intend to tackle myself this summer.
Thanks
Random question to anyone in this thread who knows. Why won’t Hans Hoppe be there this year?
I was asking myself the same question. Art Carden isn’t coming either.
Anyway; I went to Mises U last year and I was afraid that there will be a lot of overlap - and there is a lot of overlap - but as far as I can see: I don’t have to redo a lot of the lectures I attended after the concurring sessions part of the week starts.
Anyway; if anyone wants to participate in the oral examination; here are some of the questions I remember from the second round and the final.
-
What policies enacted prolonged the great depression?
-
What’s the difference in the story of the history of Austrian economics between Salerno and Kirzner?
-
What is the relevance of ‘Markets Clear’ on the J.B. Say shirt? (Guess what shirt I was wearing when I entered the room…)
-
What is the difference between Hayek & Mises on the problem of socialism?
(and in the final)
-
What’s the difference between case & class probability and what’s it’s relevance in Austrian Economics?
-
What effect do derivates have on the balance sheets of financial institutions?
-
What are the differences and similarities between the Austrian and the Monetarist account of the Great Depression?
-
What does it mean to say that Keynes his theory of interest is a monetary theory and how is it related to the Austrian one?
-
Why is capitalinvestment in foreign countries good for the American population?
and some others, which I forgot. 
I passed with honours last year, I’m aiming for monetary rewards this year, but I’ll probably not make it. Didn’t study enough.

I would advise you to go to theory & history and just read Hulsmann’s paper on his theory of interest idea.
I’m going to take the test. If you want to compare your knowledge; I’ve written down a few questions from last year that I remember.
m curious to see if there is consensus around if there can be a business cycle if we were on a 100% gold standard?
According to Philip Bagus - a student of Jesus de Soto - it’s possible due to maturity mismatching.
http://blog.mises.org/11398/the-legitimacy-of-loan-maturity-mismatching-bagus-howden-vs-barnett-block/ (and then follow the links)
I guess someone could argue that is the loan maturity is mismatched, then you weren’t really on a 100% gold standard.
I would very much like this question to please be asked:
We often hear the claim – from subscribers to the Austrian School – that if A occurs, then B will happen with certainty. However, is it not so that a central tenet in the Austrian School is that we can only say that if A occurs, then B will tend to happen (all else being equal), as we are dealing with humans acting with free will? (example: private schools tend to be run better than government schools because X, Y, etc., but that does not imply that you can never find a single government school that is run better than a single private school)
Thanks!
“Art Carden isn’t coming either.”
It was his first time last year to lecture at Mises U. I thought his lecture on environmentalism was awesome.
“does every talk eventually make it into podcast form? If I catch all of those, is the only thing I am missing out on is being able to socialize with a bunch of other Austrians?”
Yup, I believe every talk is eventually a podcast.
As Claude Debussy once said, “Music is the silence between the notes.”
