A recession might happen

2019-01-11 19:56:24 UTC  

But that causes self-reinforcing positive feedback loops like the periodic panics and depressions of the 1800s that caused huge market volatility and made it hard for businesses to expand

2019-01-11 19:56:34 UTC  

due to cheap credit

2019-01-11 19:56:40 UTC  

Of course raising interest rates fast is also a problem

2019-01-11 19:56:45 UTC  

There was no cheap credit in the 1800s

2019-01-11 19:56:48 UTC  

it's what caused the 20-21 recession

2019-01-11 19:56:50 UTC  

There was

2019-01-11 19:56:52 UTC  

I listed it above

2019-01-11 19:57:05 UTC  

however there was cheap credit before the 20-21 recession aswell

2019-01-11 19:57:16 UTC  

It's why the business cycle exists, infact under a capitalist system a recession wouldn't even occur

2019-01-11 19:57:23 UTC  

What

2019-01-11 19:57:27 UTC  

the Business cycle is completely artifical

2019-01-11 19:57:31 UTC  

and so are recessions

2019-01-11 19:57:39 UTC  

That’s just pie-in-the-sky idealism

2019-01-11 19:57:53 UTC  

It’s like saying communism would work perfectly

2019-01-11 19:57:57 UTC  

Or any system would work perfectly

2019-01-11 19:58:03 UTC  

No it wouldn't because you can't surpress markets

2019-01-11 19:58:03 UTC  

You can’t avoid market fluctuations and downturns

2019-01-11 19:58:07 UTC  

You can

2019-01-11 19:58:09 UTC  

because they don't exisst

2019-01-11 19:58:14 UTC  

What

2019-01-11 19:58:25 UTC  

the whole reason the boom and bust cycle exists is due to cheap credit and interest rates manipulations by central planners

2019-01-11 19:58:31 UTC  

or it wouldn't exist

2019-01-11 19:58:33 UTC  

You’re going against basically all of any economic theory ever in history.

2019-01-11 19:58:53 UTC  

No

2019-01-11 19:58:56 UTC  

There *was* no central bank in America for much of the 1800s.

2019-01-11 19:58:58 UTC  

Austrian economists agree with me

2019-01-11 19:59:07 UTC  

there was a treasury and legislation

2019-01-11 19:59:10 UTC  

and there was central banks

2019-01-11 19:59:13 UTC  

Read what I said above dude

2019-01-11 19:59:20 UTC  

Market fluctuations are an inseparable part of a capitalist economy.

2019-01-11 19:59:38 UTC  

No it is not

2019-01-11 19:59:47 UTC  

Boom and bust cycles do not exist in a capitalist market

2019-01-11 20:00:00 UTC  

the free market does handle allocation of resources perfectly

2019-01-11 20:00:07 UTC  

And remember, America wasn't a free market in the 1800s

2019-01-11 20:00:13 UTC  

there was more intervention than people think

Thats not what the Austrian school thinks

2019-01-11 20:01:53 UTC  

anyways

2019-01-11 20:01:57 UTC  

But i'm pretty sure thats wrong

2019-01-11 20:02:01 UTC  

he was against central banking
