About

Purpose

Economic Thought, although written mostly in the perspective of the Austrian School of Thought, was established to provide a ground for economists of different points of view to discuss theories on economics and political science.  In that sense, we are not looking for readers who necessarily agree with our points of view.  Instead, we invite those of opposing viewpoints to share their opinions and research, in the spirit of healthy debate which serves only to increase the knowledge base of those involved.  Ultimately, only through open-minded debate will economists ever come close to a unified economic theory, at least in regards to agreeing on something.  Economic Thought is set up in this spirit, with an objective set as setting the scene for common sense.
