A Retort to the Austrians

Last time we interviewed Carlos Lara and Prof. Robert Murphy to give us the Austrian perspective on the boom & bust cycle. Today we’re going to see the another side of the debate, with the help of Jake Meyer, a Nobel Prize losing economist at California State University!

Jake’s work focuses on empirically studying the interaction of the international finance system and domestic political factors, particularly looking at financial crises and credit--all very relevant to the boom/bust cycle debate. He’s also a research economist at Forensic Economic Services, was part of the faculty at Claremont Graduate University, and got his Masters and PhD from Claremont as well.
