The crisis and the Austrian theory of the business cycle: Conventional policy solutions and some Austrian ones

The current economic crisis is a classic example of the Austrian theory of the business cycle.

This lunchtime discussion will critique current policy solutions and put forward radical measures for dealing with the crisis - including a total restructuring of the banking system into 100% reserve but otherwise free banking , dealing with the national debt and putting an end to credit induced booms and busts.

Chairman: Toby Baxendale, chairman, The Cobden Centre
