There is a myth that the GMU programme and the Mises Institute are antagonistic, but in my experience this is not the case. Both of these fantastic institutions have alternative strategies for promoting Austrian economics, and should be seen as being complementary. I've jsut taken a look at the 2009 Austrian Scholars Conference and am well impressed. In particular, I would love to see the following:
- "Time Deposits: Fraud and the ABCT" Walter Block and William Barnett (Loyola University New Orleans)
- "A Note on the Austrian Theory of Foreign Exchange Rates" Simon Bilo (George Mason University)
- Plus the panel on "The Place of Austrian Economics in Management Research, Education, and Consulting"
- Henry Hazlitt Memorial Lecture: Peter Schiff on "Why the Meltdown Should Have Surprised No One"
- "Recession Economics and Non-Neutral Money" Paul Cwik (Mount Olive College)
- "The Ongoing Banking Crisis: Another Example of the Inefficiency of the Basil II Accords" Natalie Janson (Rouen Graduate School of Managment)
- "Was Rothbard a Mainstream Economist?" Joseph T. Salerno (Pace University)
- "The Essence of Keynesian Economics: A Critique" Wladimir Kraus (University of Turin, Marburg University)
- "A Revision of the Monetary Legacy of the Freiburg School and Its Ties to Vienna" Ekkehard Köhler (Walter Eucken Institut)
- "The Battle of Ideas from Keynes to Thatcher" Antonio Masala (IMT Alti Studi - Lucca)
- The Mises Memorial Lecture: Thorsten Polleit on "Ending the Monetary Fiasco and Returning to Sound Money"
Yes, 11 seperate sessions of immense practical and intellectual importance, and that's just my own personal tastes.
Where can I obtain a COPY of Natalie Janson's "The Ongoing Banking Crisis: Another Example of the Inefficiency of the Basil II Accords"?
My interests are in a thesis related to the Basil Accords for Economic Degree from Lund University, Lund, Sweden. Any aid in this endeavor would be most appreciated.
