5 Key Conclusions of Austrian Economists: • 1. Human action is the foundation: Economics is driven by individual decisions and subjective choices, not abstract mathematical models. • 2. Free markets are essential: Government intervention distorts markets and creates inefficiencies that harm individuals. • 3. Inflation is a hidden tax: Printing money without real backing destroys purchasing power and impoverishes the population. • 4. Business cycles are caused by central banks: Manipulating interest rates and money supply leads to bubbles and financial crises. • 5. Decentralization equals freedom: Competition in currencies and markets is the best way to protect individual rights and prosperity.
