The Bubble Decade

The Bubble Decade

Last night CNBC premiered “The Bubble Decade” with host David Faber looking back at the three boom-and-bust episodes of the past 10 years–tech, real estate and private equity. It will replay Sunday and no doubt many more times in the coming weeks and months.

Leaving aside the analysis at the end, the program is quite good. No, the Austrian Business Cycle Theory is not considered, but John McAfee’s story, in particular, is extraordinary and gives one a peek into the entrepreneurial mind.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
