Any good sources for the Austrian view of the banking crisis?

[dlreynolds]

I've been wanting to do a little research about the detailed problems which caused the banking crisis. I've found a lot of good material, but very little from the Austrian point of view. Some good stuff on mises.org, but haven't found anything that gets into the nitty gritty. Anyone have any suggestions?

You are not searching hard enough. Read all the early 2000s articles on the housing bubble. Also, read up on Austrian theory itself and you will able to figure out what caused the banking crisis.

The business cycle? inflation? Understand most of how this would apply to the banking crisis, want to get in deep though. I'll try digging through the articles on the housing bubble. Thanks for the tip.

Also, look at business-managementness of what happened. Look into cash flows.

This looks perfect. The Mises Institute is such a wonderful resource. So big I didn't even see that. Thank you.

Mises is the win. Check out the audio from this weekends Gold Standard conference feating Ron Paul and many other speakers! It's on the media section of mises.

I listen to this stuff all day while driving to/fro work hehe. Purchase for next econ stimulus package, new monitor vs flash drive cd deck for car.

A neocon / objectivity friend of mine, "really likes" mises.org now...

Reading articles from Rothbard etc....

Hopefully will come round eventually.

Oh yes, I remember this article. Very good source for the Austrian perspective. It had me reading for days.

Keep an eye on Mish's blog. He pretty much blames Greenspan although I am not convinced it's the full story and I am skeptic about his technical analysis. Other than that, he's a fucking genius.
