The Case for Austerity by Gary North

The Case for Austerity by Gary North: Keynesianism is in a death spiral. So is populist socialism. So is fiat money fascism. They are all in death spirals because they all reject this premise: "Lower taxes increase liberty."

Liberty will prevail. This is an eschatological affirmation. One of the ways that it will prevail is through the bankruptcy of the Keynesian social order: high taxation, high regulation, high deficit spending, and high inflation.

Let's put government on a diet. Let's have austerity where it belongs: government spending.

That is what Europe's voters do not want. That is what they are going to get.

"Not less austerity. More austerity!"
