I mean, I would take away things like “winning Nobel Prize” or unspecified claims of “desirability” of a policy and that would be a very interesting reality check for many of the aspiring austrianites here."
How, exactly?
Also, I’d really hope that no one who started off as an Austrian economist would ever advocate the final point. I’m in managerial economics right now which you would expect to be pretty “low to the ground”, yet even this class is theoretical and ivory tower as hell in a school that is primarily focused on direct employability of its students. Modern academia (in economics at very least) is so far removed from both the basics and the real world that any criticism of the Austrians on theoretical discrepancies is frankly laughable.
