Anatomy of the Crash: a Mises book

Anatomy of the Crash: the financial crisis of 2020
Edited by Tho Bishop
Introduction by Jeff Deist
Mises Institute - Auburn, Alabama, 2020


The Great Crash of 2020 was not caused by a virus. It was precipitated by the virus, and made worse by the crazed decision of governments around the world to shut down business and travel. But it was caused by economic fragility.
The purpose of this collection is to highlight the important work of contemporary Austrian economists on the modern financial system. Although the mainstream financial press has been crediting American, European, and Chinese policymakers with upholding the global economy in the aftermath of 2008, Austrians have long been warning that these very same actions have only set the world up for a larger disaster. Promises in 2008 of the ease of normalizing monetary policy—such as by reducing balance sheets and phasing out market intervention—have been proven to be lies, just as Austrians warned.

  1. The world can see that the pandemic is not getting contained by the lockdown but the economy is on the downward swing. The policymakers are in a denial mode. The mistakes they made in the past are looming large on third faces. It is going to be a tough call either ways.

  2. Not sure if the lockdown is working as most of the countries are seeing a surge of cases. The world will have to teach the citizens a new normal. Social distancing, masks, gloves will have to be practised. Hygiene should be part and parcel of our daily life. Economy should go on. The teaching and facilities at IAS coaching centres in chennai is world class
