Related Policy Proposals
Many proponents of the Austrian School business cycle theory advocate free banking or full reserve banking with a monetary system based on a non-government commodity-money standard. If the central bank-fiat money system is maintained, they suggest heavy regulation of the banking system, enforcing a policy of full reserves on all deposit-taking institutions, or at least higher reserve requirements on all banks. Proponents of the theory generally oppose deregulation of the financial system without the prior abolition of central banks and the removal of deposit insurance.

“One does not realize the historical sensation as a re-experiencing, but as an understanding that is closely related to the understanding of music, or rather of the world by means of music.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,—that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,—who is invariably the devil,—and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,—who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
