Funded by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries, the Mises- and
Hayek-inspired ‘free’ market has adopted ‘The Slogan of
Liberty’ - but should their faith-based assertions be accorded the
same epistemological status as a science? If Austrian economics is a
branch of divinely revealed ‘knowledge’ - as the epigone
Godfather, Hans Sennholz, insists - what validity do its policy
recommendations have? Should those who falsely claim to have PhDs be
tax-funded as ‘Post-Doctoral Fellows’ and ‘Professors’?
This volume examines the consequences of the ‘free’ market
colonisation of economics – climate change, financial crises and the
corruption of academic discourse
