    Short Discussion\Talk on the Business Cycle

    I currently attend UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and we have a small group we recently started called "Students for Liberty". We're the official UAB chapter of the Libertarian Party and we're trying to grow, but we just started a few months ago, so with summer downtime and all we are not large yet.

    However, for about 10 to 30 minutes after each meeting is over, we are trying to have someone to talk about a subject they are knowledgeable on or would just like to discuss, preferably with a short Power Point presentation and such. Tomorrow night I offered to talk on the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle--I am by no means an expert on it, but I have went through Mises' Theory of Money and Credit, Rothbard's America's Great Depression, and read countless other articles on it. I know enough to give a general talk on it--and trust me, probably no one in the room will be asking questions that completely stump me or anything.

    Anyway, the main reason I am posting is to see if anyone here thinks there is anything I should stress in my little talk or on the power point, or what points would be most important to hit on given that we only have about 30 minutes or so to try to lay some groundwork for how the Austrian Theory works.

    Thanks!
