  1. 10. Banking and the Business Cycle

    The tenth and final lecture from Joseph Salerno's Introduction to Austrian Economic Analysis seminar. Loan banking is non-inflationary. Interest rates on loans are merely reflective of price spreads. All speculation, on the free-market, is self-correcting and speeds adjustment, rather than cause...

  2. 9. Money and Prices

    Barter – direct exchange- is inefficient because of the lack of a double coincidence of wants. Some third medium was sought to solve this. It is called money. Exchanges are not equal, they are win-win, with each party gaining more than he is giving or the exchange would not be made. An increase…

  3. 8. Competition and Monopoly

    The eighth of ten lectures from Joseph Salerno's Introduction to Austrian Economic Analysis seminar. Naturally occurring monopolies do not last long. Competition emerges to upset them. The sovereignty of the individual defines the free market. The only monopolies that do persist are those...

  4. 7. Capital, Interest and the Structure of Production

    The seventh of ten lectures from Joseph Salerno's Introduction to Austrian Economic Analysis seminar. All action takes time. Humans use time as a tool. Time preference ranking is now, not later, although time preferences will differ over time and for different people, like children who want…

  5. 6. Pricing of the Factors of Production and the Labor Market

Incomes are earned by factor owners as production takes place. There is no separated production and distribution. The price of a factor is determined by...

  6. 4. Price Controls: Case Studies

    The immediate effect of price controls or any government intervention upon the market is shortage of goods. Price controls discourage production just when it is needed most. The economy approaches full socialization. Rent control is the easiest way to destroy a city besides bombing it. A maximum...

  7. 5. Profit, Loss and the Entrepreneur

    Capitalist-entrepreneurs must anticipate supply and demand conditions of future market conditions. It is the future price - the appraisement – that must be compared to the costs of factors of production (land, labor, and capital). There is no going rate of profit. The basic rate is the rate of...

  8. 3. The Determination of Prices

    What principles determine the formation of prices on the free market? The equilibrium price between supply and demand determines prices according to the value scales of sellers and buyers and their elastic or inelastic positions. As the price increases, new suppliers with higher minimum selling...

  9. 2. Exchange and Demand

    All action is exchange, even forced exchange like slavery, taxes, eminent domain and conscription, where only one party gains. The Law of Marginal Utility tells us how many exchanges will be made. Demand is elastic if when you cut your price, demand goes up. Demand is inelastic when revenues…
