I learned in my first economics class how infeasible a gold standard is.
Of course you did - you were taught by modern economists. That doesn't make them right, it simply means they are in power. Keynes and Austrian are polar opposites.

I've been in Idaho a few times, never to Boise, mostly in the northern part of Idaho. Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint and Bonner's Ferry are the places I've been. My aunt and uncle used to live in Sandpoint for a while. It's pretty up there. But yeah, not a place you wanna get caught trespassing or anything if you get my drift.
Well someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

Where's the internet school of red necks living in the hills stocking up on guns to fight the feds economics is much better.

For those who wish to know to what Mero is alluding when he speaks of "Austrian," here is a good brief precise from Wikipedia.
"Whereas mainstream economists generally use economic models and statistical methods to model economic behavior, Austrian School economists argue that they are a flawed, unreliable, and insufficient means of analyzing economic behavior and evaluating economic theories. Instead, they advocate deriving economic theory logically from basic principles of human action, a study called praxeology. Furthermore, whereas experimental research and natural experiments are often used in mainstream economics, Austrians generally hold that testability in economics and precise mathematical modeling of an economic market are virtually impossible."
My TL;DR version is that the Austrian School economists are arm-chair economists who like to think about human economy, whereas "mainstream" economists get their hands dirty with theories tested against facts, data, and politics in the real world.
