The Austrian school?

Chicago school?

Keynesian school?

Classical?

Neo classical?

Neo Keynesian?

Marxist?


Curious to hear the answers.

I believe the Austrian School has the best explanations for most economic phenomena, but not necessarily the best solutions when there are black swan events

Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations should be required reading

True, but Smith was wrong on some stuff

Namely, he believed in labor theory of value

I wouldn’t say he was wrong. He just became outdated. To me there is a difference.

Before the Industrial Revolution and the ever increasing rise in technology, LTV makes plenty of sense and would be correct for the thousands of years humans existed up until that point

Classical-liberal, Austrian-leaning means I believe markets coordinate information better than planners, incentives drive outcomes more than intentions, and interventions tend to create second-order problems that are worse than the issue they were meant to fix. Government has a role, but it should be limited, rules-based, and humble about what it can actually control.

Poverty is a great motivator and teacher.

They’ll come out of it better for it and the wiser ones with thank us for the education.

I worry they may have drifted over time.

Who is their current standard bearer?

There’s a lot of overlap between several of the options you posted. I think the best system is protection from outside state players, relatively laissez-faire domestic regulation, and the very occasional trust-busting/utilitification. Keep the government to an absolute minimum.

Don't know what several of those are. I am old school and studied Keynesian in college. Demand/Spending drives the economy.

Couldn’t begin to define all of these.

I’ve generally agreed with Milton.
