Abstract
"A debate between Chris Leithner and me has been raging at The Journal of Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom. It started with his review of my recent book Money, Banking, and the Business Cycle. 1 The essence of his claim in the review is that he supports much of my economics but rejects my method of analysis. That journal allowed me to submit a response in the same volume defending my positions.2 It also allowed Leithner to submit a rejoinder.3 This article constitutes my response to Leithner’s rejoinder. This debate is useful in helping to illustrate the fundamental philosophical differences between Austrian economics and Objectivism. It will give readers a chance to see the errors in the philosophical arguments made by Austrians and some of the logical fallacies they commit in attempting to defend their position. In fact, one can even learn some economics from the debate."
