Default Re: Why isn\'t every economist an Austrian?

You might want to soften up this language a bit, if you're truly here to convert people. I understand you probably don't intend to sound this way, but the second quote above, if read the wrong way, sort of borders on "capitalizm will finish what Der Furher started". I understand part of embracing eugenics necessarily implies some form of forceful intervention, which I suspect you'll disavow, but saying what capitalism will 'select for' and then comparing unproductive people to parasites might not win you many followers (for obvious reasons), hence why ACist apologists may want to at least feign some level of care for the downtrodden.

My point exactly; an ACist can't speak frankly without a bunch of people misunderstanding it. Luckily, I don't really care about converting people here anymore, I'm just more interested in discussing economics with people and don't really care how it sounds to the uninformed.
