Why did Keynesianism win against Austrian economics?

>> No.16349436

Because it allowed the powerful an excuse to entrench their power and seek rents under the guise of helping the economic and pursuing progressive policies

>> No.16349456

Keynesianism sometimes works and sometimes fails in the actionable policy objectives that it concocts. It hits the mark often enough to stay on the mix. Austrian economics are a skein of obvious nonsense that even most laypersons can see through before even the first go around.

I'm not an economist, but if Austrian economics is obviously false then why did we see economists who were Austrians? I've never seen a single economist say that tariffs were a good thing (outside of the argument that they're sometimes good for developing economies), so we know that at least everyone can agree that those suck, but I have seen Austrian economists.

See, here's my fundamental confusion. Keynesian economics is the predominant theory today, it's taught in basically ever university and the vast majority of economists are Keynesian. I am admittedly biased, I want Austrian economics to be true because I am highly distrustful of politicians and government, but it is more important than anything that I find the truth and be fair and honest with myself so I can find the actual facts of which economic theory is true and more based on reality. Now from what I know, apparently Keynesian economics has far more models to work with than Austrian economics, and additionally Keynesian economics advocates for far more state intervention in the economy. But this presents a dilemma, because while it's possible that Keynesianism is the predominant theory because it is correct, it is also possible that it is the predominant theory because economists need Keynesianism to justify their jobs (nobody needs an legion of economists telling you to not interfere with the economy after all). So it's a difficult quandary for me to get over, and admittedly one that I am far too undereducated to properly understand.

>>16349706
With the exception of some tariffs, Calvin Coolidge's presidency was fairly economically Austrian-esque. But that's not exactly helpful since people argue about Coolidge and FDR all the time. Coolidge presided over a prosperous and economically industrious time in history...right before the Great Depression, which he is often blamed for. But then FDR came along with his Keynesian-esque policies and presided over the Depression era America, but said Depression continued until America entered the war.

So as a result you have this sort of weird argument where everyone can see the same thing but they argue over the causes. Austrians disagree that Coolidge caused the Depression, in fact many of them might say that the Depression was inevitable but was made far worse and prolonged by FDR's policies. Keynesians usually blame Coolidge for the Depression and often say that the Depression would've been far worse than it already was if FDR hadn't greatly increased government spending and control over the economy.

Your entire post is looking at this the wrong way.

Economics is a very immature science. It cannot predict many phenomena that we would consider to be fairly basic within its purview, much less control those phenomena. Different "schools" like Keynesian and Austrian, are basically tool boxes. Keynesian tools work sometimes, can explain why they work (sort of), and seem to be able to do some jobs. The tools in the bag marked "Austrian" are quite often wrong, and demonstrably so in many places.

So, as I mentioned earlier, the Keynesians have a bunch of models for predicting economic behaviors. How accurate are these models, and are they the reason that Keynesianism is the predominant theory? More importantly, if we've created accurate models to determine economic behaviors and plan around it, then how the hell is economics even a subject of debate at this point? If I can objectively tell someone that the economy is going to go into a recession in 3.4 years and that we should increase government spending 36.4% to alleviate it, then how on God's green Earth is political policy regarding the economy not an open-and-shut case?

Keynesianism in theory is when you engage in deficit spending at the end of the business cycle to create government jobs to artificially aggregate demand which is supposed to increase jobs in the private sector. Once the economy bounces back you pay off the debt. What happens in actuality is employers don't expand their workforce because they view the demand for products and services as temporary and to them its easier to just pay their workers overtime. The 2 biggest examples of keynsianism is the new deal and Hitlers rebuilding of Germany between 33 and 36.

Most models are not particularly accurate in terms of prediction. The science is still trying to explain most phenomena. It is the subject of debate because rhetoricians realize that they can borrow the credibility of whichever group of scientists happen to agree with them and use them to advocate for policy that they think is in their own interests.

Hitler alleviated unemployment within 9 months of taking office because 1. He had complete political control of Germany and 2. created massive public works campaigns which drove up huge deficits. This lasted 2 years. Once 1936 came around unemployment in Germany rose to the double digits. In 36 Hitler also visited Mussolini where the Italian facist gave hitler a military display of italy's Navy and armored division. This prompted hitler to start rebuilding German armaments and then another 2 years later ww2 started. It's a common misconception that Hitler rebuilt the German economy through rearmament.

I'm pretty sure that modern economics takes pieces of both theories to create a unified modern theory. The father of Austrian economics was also one of the first people to think about marginal utility. Modern economics definitely DOES NOT ignore marginal utility.

Keynesianism explains the cause of the problem and provides a way to fix it; Austrian economics effectively blames failure on previous success, and when the economy's in bad shape, all it tells us is to suck it up because it will be good for the economy in the long run.

But Keynesianism lost its dominance in the 1970s because Keynes had failed to predict the effects of a supply shock, let alone what to do about it. After that governments tried to manage economic cycles with monetary policy alone, and often ignored what could be done with fiscal policy.

TL;DR but undoubtedly ITT:

Two actual economists attempt to write an educated reply. One objectivist with no economics background self-taught on Austrian school via YouTube videos chimes in with a half-researched post that trails into unsubstantiated ranting. A bunch of people chime in supporting the objectivist view with lazy graphs that are the second or third response to a Google search of the general topic and words like "artificial" "intervention" "supply" "cap" and "libertarian."

At least one hard science fag comes in to remind everyone that economics is a social science and subject to Elster's missing mechanism and hundreds of billions of potential interventions on each explanans.

because austrian economics was a political propaganda project against the soviet union, not real economics

everyone who thinks austrian econ is true is an idiot. Keynesianism, however, isn't a perfect system because it increases inflation, but neoclassical economics didn't actually solve that problem because the increased financialisation of capital resulted in inflation via increased lending by private banks. That said, the inflation caused by keynesian programs is demand-pull, not supply-push, so not the brainlet understanding of inflation that is common on this board. Protip, "printing money" is not how inflation happens. It's the central bank which devalues the currency to introduce a greater quantity, not the fucking mint printing actual physical notes. When a government borrows from the central bank they don't print more physical bills to pay people

I am not informed about the particularities of this case but it looks like it was in part an actual organic recovery and growth after the depression but with higher growth than it would have otherwise as a result of fractional reserve banking, lower inflation rates or any other kind of cheap money scheme, term transformation or any combination of those. Massive infrastructure projects are usually a good indication of this. It's like eating all the food in the fridge, the indicators of food ingested will rise sharply until you suddenly realise there's nothing more left and you have no food to eat for the weekend. That's why in some wars GDP also increases.

>organic recovery and growth after the depression
Depression was still ongoing (1929 - late 30s) when recovery started for Germany (1933), which is exactly when Hitler and Schacht came to power.

>result of fractional reserve banking, lower inflation rates or any other kind of cheap money scheme, term transformation or any combination of those
There was a lot more drama to it, but that more or less was it

>It's like eating all the food in the fridge, the indicators of food ingested will rise sharply until you suddenly realise there's nothing more left and you have no food to eat for the weekend.
Using this analogy, food was cheap because the depression was global and raw material exporters were just as desperate to sell. Schacht was able to negotiate to settle directly with Reichsmarks, and along with careful oversight of foreign exchanges instead of a free market, was able to meet the needs of their public work programs and rearmament.
"The very necessity of bringing our armament up to a certain level as rapidly as possible must place in the foreground the idea of as large returns as possible in foreign exchange and therewith the greatest possible assurance of raw material supplies, through exporting."

>I would rather take Germany after the war if I wanted an example of prosperous and sustainable growth.
Of course, but the main subject of Keynes is recovery from depression-type market failures. Post-war recovery is of a completely different nature. If it's any consolation, Schacht wanted to stop their programs immediately after reaching full employment to return to a free market and start paying off the debt. But this is where Hitler said no and the rest is history.

Not any more! Now it is the market that devalues the currency. And a greater quantity can correspond with devaluation (for obvious reasons) but it doesn't always. Speculation and arbitrage are more important to the short term value, and balance of trade is more important to the long term value.

Industrial prices had been controlled under Bruning after the deflationary decree of December I93I. The post of Commissioner for the Supervision of Prices was created to oversee the mandated price reductions. The Com- missioner was fired by the Nazis and then reappointed to deal with the threat of inflation. Echoing Soviet practice in the I920S, business enterprises were encouraged to join cartels--like the Wirtschaftsgruppe Eisenschaffende Industrie--in order to ease the job of regulating them. But the controls did not work well at first. At the start of the second Four Year Plan, a new Commissioner was appointed who quickly prohibited all price increases over the level of 17 October 1936, in the famous Price Stop (Preisstop) Decree.24

forcibly binding people to your joke economy via taxation and the manipulation of the currency that you force them to use is the exact same thing as enslaving them
proponents of an economy predicated on the enslavement of only the people who produce wealth, justified on the grounds that it's "more stable", could only come from people so lacking in self-awareness that they don't see the irony in recognizing the government—an entity in society that DOES NOT NECESSARILY have to EARN wealth in order to control it—as a regulatory force to prevent people from the perceived unjust acquisition wealth.

if your economy is predicated on people not being allowed to leave, then you're a mafia—a gang of thugs that hurts and threatens SPECIFICALLY the practically skilled and intelligent people who don't pay up, and that pays off the idiot scum of society to shout and cheer about how much better the mafia is than anyone else, and to VOTE accordingly. no amount of justification that you present can change this fact.
keynes was a grandmaster bullshitter whose ideas might even be worse for humanity than marx's, if only because they're more insidious.

Modern economic theories take a lot more from Keynesianism than they take from Austrian or Chicago schools of thought though. In economics courses the Austrian theory is only briefly mentioned, if at all, and most of the focus is on Keynesian models about when the government should increase or decrease spending and raise or lower taxes. Pretty much no one is saying the government should stay out of the economy, and in fact if you were to even suggest a thing to a real economist you'd be laughed out of the room.

Orthodoxy mystifies economic relations through "sophisticated" mathematics guided by Walras tendency towards general equilibrium and instantaneous exogenous shocks as the only real disruptive force (Dsge models). Their models are manipulated in order to allow for existing single solutions. (Glorified linear algebra basicaly).

Keynesianism and post-keynesianism on the other hand are mostly economic astrology. They cant quantify counter-factuals and are thus unable to measure costs of opportunity. Any recomendation based on keynesianism is baseless because it cant be obtained through a cost-benefit analysis.

The austrian school is even worse. Anything after the first austrians was a mistake. Austrians mystify the nature of power and hide power centers.

The "battle" was lost from the beginning. Austrianism cant be a tool of power in the jouvenelian sense. It cant allow eternal growt only moderate obsfuscation.

All economic activity relies on the usage of avaible means towards mutually exclusive ends. Pure economics is based around the relations between scarce means and the desirable ends. Normative economics deals with ethics and creates a hierarchy of ends. It defines priorities. Any economic decision demonstrates preference among the considered applications of labour and capital. If i choosed A instead of B and C i prefered at the time A. The expected value of the action A was higher than B or C. We have preferences + resources = prefered action. The concept of cost of opportunity here is key. My economic profit is not the surplus i get from the action A, but the surplus i get from A minus the surplus i would get from B or C. The cost of opportunity is the best alternative option i have. There are multiple models/perspectives trying to evaluate the cost/benefit of certain sets of possible aplications of capital and labour.

The orthodox new-keynesianism uses DSGE models. They are very refined models based around the general equilibrium theorem that simplify economic action and deal with simplifying hyphothesis in order to obtain a unique existent solution. If they have this unique solution they can predict the outcome of shocks over macroeconomic variables such as agreggate demand for labour, nominal prices, nominal salaries, etc. They use these models in order to evaluate the benefits/costs of certain interventions.

The post-keynesians dont believe in these models. They reject them because they are unrealistic and end up exposing people to dangers they wouldn't expose themselves. They use macroeconomic identities and econometrics based on keynesian theory in order to construct optimal economic policy. The problem is that without the orthodox matematical models their forecastings/predictions are baseless (see "Lucas critique"). They cant measure the benefits/costs of inaction or of other patterns of intervention(counter- factuals). Their actions have long term repercutions that cant be reliably measured. They act because they feel like acting. Without cost-benefit annalysis your action cant be considered optimal or superior to other alternatives. Economic shamanism.

Austrians have a good methodology. They are economic subjectivists and use a individualist methodology;(like Emerson). They reached the conclusion that economics isnt a science at all because it has no predictive capacity. Ironically enough, they reached the same conclusion marxists did later. Because austrians advocate against the madness of baseless interventionsm they arent usefull for power centers. They cant solidify or increase power. Even if you believe that they are wrong they cant help governmental authorities because their recomended policies would hurt most corporations and specially the government.Austrianism would cripple centralized power (at least the status quo).

I'm reading a lot of 'this vs. that,' and feel compelled to offer an alternative perspective: that keyneian and austrian economics aren't mutually exclusive at all.

The fundamentals of each deal with different subjects: keynes dealt with demand-side and austrianism deals with supply side. (This is a gross simplification, but bear with me.)

The reasons for dealing with these two things come down to a different focus: while austrian economics seeks to establish the best possible nash-equilibrium for a given scenario, keyensians seek the best possible paereto-equilibrium. In particular, they treat employment a little differently.

So to talk about the Nash equilibrium, Austrians are looking at how entrepreneurs are supplied with resources via currency that's strongly backed, and therefore is loaned by the strongest sense of profit-maximizing self interest possible. They're looking to keep supply as strong as possible because it means that people who use resources are most likely to have good uses for them.

Keynesians seeking the paereto-equilibrium accept a greater frequency of fuckups by acknowledging that, by and large, the entrepreneurs making use of resources are trying their best. Capital is kept a little more free-and-loose in exchange for a greater quantity of loan interactions. The idea there is that mitigating as much structural unemployment due to successful new ideas that we can results in the greatest quantity of entrepreneurs with the personal financial freedom to execute new ideas. Increasing the quantity of new business executions allows for more employment, and so on.

So I posit that the two 'factions' aren't really at odds with one another, they're just looking at different levels of outcome and trying to maximize them. Austrians are asking, "in the worst case scenario how do we profit?" and keyensians are asking, "in the best case scenario how do we profit the most?"

>amount of public spending

>amount of public earnings
wealth is measured by velocity, it has to be borrowed and spent to make the economy move

someone here is not aware of the Weimar Republic blowing out their currency with hyperinflation to pay public debt. Bear in mind the huge economic strength of Germany followed shortly after this hyperinflation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic

>To pay for the large costs of the ongoing First World War, Germany suspended the gold standard (the convertibility of its currency to gold) when the war broke out. Unlike France, which imposed its first income tax to pay for the war, German Emperor Wilhelm II and the Reichstag decided unanimously to fund the war entirely by borrowing,

The strategy failed when Germany lost the war. The new Weimar Republic was saddled with a massive war debt that it could not afford. That was worsened by the fact that it was printing money without economic resources to back it.[3] The Treaty of Versailles, with its demand for reparations, further accelerated the decline in the value of the mark, so that 48 paper marks were required to buy a US dollar by late 1919.

>The first payment was made when it came due in June 1921.[9] It marked the beginning of an increasingly rapid devaluation of the mark, which fell in value to approximately 330 marks per dollar.[5] The total reparations demanded were 132 billion gold marks, but Germany had to pay only 50 billion marks.

>Since reparations were required to be repaid in hard currency, not the rapidly depreciating paper mark, one strategy that Germany used was the mass printing of bank notes to buy foreign currency, which was then used to pay reparations, greatly exacerbating the inflation of the paper mark

So I've done some reading online and apparently most economists have merged into a sort of new neoclassical synthesis which combines a bunch of different economic theories and models into one, and they all exist within this synthesis but argue about the details.

As it turns out even using GDP as an indicator of growth is pretty shit. It was originally used in WW2 to identify industrial output and where it would be best to hurt the war economy.

As of right now macroeconomics is in the shitter. We know certain things follow more or less similar growth trends, but don't know why productivity grows the way it does.

>tfw economics has been so refined that we've managed to approach a near unified theory on how to handle the economy via new neoclassical synthesis
>tfw dumb voters will never vote for proper economic policies
We should honestly just create an unelected oligarchy ran be economists at this point.

People love free shit and empty promises. Not to mention how the government systems screwed up heavily, blamed it on the private sector, and then when it was fixed by the private sector, the government claimed responsibility for the upward trend.

Mmt is only a discection of the current American system and is not an economic theory in the same sense as Keynesian economic theory.

Because it works better to paper over capitalism's inherent contradictions. Without a state, economic crisis leads to societal instability, and eventually the whole thing collapsing. Those in charge want to keep the machine chugging for as long as possible, and Austrian economics just doesn't do that. As a socialist, I honestly wished this wasn't the case, and support Austrian-Accelerationism

MMT is not limited to the current American system. It is very much an economic theory, as it explains what the result of various changes will be and why.

What is it you think Keynesian economic theory has that MMT lacks?

It didn't, some forms of "Keynesianism" (in the popular sense) were being practised before Keynes and even the degree to which academic standard textbook economics of the 1950s was really "Keynesian" (in the sense Keynes would understanding) is questionable. After the 1970s stagflation "Keynesianism" lost public credibility and everyone returned to faith in older theories. Also it depends what you mean by "Austrianism"... Hayek rejected the methodology of Mises.

>Austrianism is just free market
No it's not, Austrians like Mises and Rothboard don't even approve of a real free market in money and demand gold have a monopoly to fix the money supply.

Keynes thought about monetary policy different from what's today called MMT... the world was to far different from todays experience with convertible floating currencies.
Also if the dollar "pops" it's the fault of idiotic politicians and bureaucrats, all MMT does is explain the mechanism and what to expect from actions.
