Tom Palmer has a strange critique of Tom Woods' book Meltdown and the Austrian Business Cycle Theory presented there: "In fact, what we saw was a bubble in housing, which is not a “long-term project” that will “bear fruit only in the distant future,” but a speculative investment in a durable consumer good, with an additional twist: the low refinancing rates and the inducements...
