Austrian Business Cycle Theory - Related Policy Proposals

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.

Famous quotes containing the words related, policy and/or proposals:

    The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.
    Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)

    If matrimony be really beneficial to society, the custom that ... married women alone are allowed any claim to place, is as useful a piece of policy as ever was invented.... The ridicule fixed on the appellation of old maid hath, I doubt not, frightened a very large number into the bonds of wedlock.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    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)
