# Austrian Economics
|
||||
|
||||
A heterodox school of economics that attempts to reason about human behaviour from first principles and deductive reasoning instead of quantitative analysis. Popular in the early 20th century but largely rejected by the modern academy.
|
||||
|
||||
This school of thought has seen a resurgence in relation to cryptocurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
Often resonates with advocacy for the [[gold-standard]] and [[libertarianism]].

## Criticisms
|
||||
|
||||
Very few mainstream economists believe the gold standard to be a good way to run a currency anymore. Historically there have been many problems over the now-standard fiat money system.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unequal distribution of gold across Earth gives certain countries and groups unequal access to value detached from economic activity and based purely on geography.
|
||||
* Limits the amount of economic growth because supply is limited.
|
||||
* Does not allow market intervention during recessions.
|
||||
* Short-term price volatility
|
||||
* Short-term price volatility.
|
||||
* Deflationary currencies encourage hording and punish debtors.
|
||||
* Gold mining and production is not predictable on long time scales.
|
||||
* Shocks in one economic region transfer to other regions. (Great Depression & World War II)ss
