Austrian School

Austrolibertarianism shortened to Austrobert is libertarian, economically laissez-faire, and culturally neutral but usually leaning right. He is rather simple, Libertarianism which is based on Austrian School Economics. It is highly influenced by Menger's Marginal Utility Theory, Mises' Praxeology and Socialist Economic Calculation Problem, the Austrian Business Cycle, etc...

It opposes basically all market regulations, believing that markets follow an auto-regulatory principle which leads to perfect competition and equilibrium prices. It also adds specific aim at monetary theory; opposing state influence in monetary policies; anti-empiricism on economic theory, economic cycles, etc...

It believes that economics studies can't be done by empirical methods due to it being a social science and not a hard science, making precise economic measurements completely impossible and thus economics theory can only be studied based and on a priori knowledge.

This, however, does not mean that it completely rejects empiricism on the area of economics. It makes a distinction between economic theory and economic history, believing that it is perfectly possible to accurately back claims about economic history with empirical evidence.

Tenets
The Austrian-American economist Fritz Machlup has distinguished six general principles which distinguish the methodology of the Austrian school of economics, as well as two additional principles which together with the methodological principles inform the politics of Austrolibertarianism. With the former being: methodological individualism, methodological subjectivism, tastes and preferences, opportunity costs, marginalism and time structure of production and consumption; and the latter being consumer sovereignty and political individualism.

How to Draw
Austrobert's design is a combination of the Austrian and Gadsden flags
 * 1) Draw a ball,
 * 2) Draw 3 bars, the top and bottom ones red (#EE2436), and the middle one white (#FFFFFF),
 * 3) Draw in black (#141414) a snake,
 * 4) (Optional) Below the snake draw some variation of the words "no step on snek" or "don't tread on me",
 * 5) Draw the eyes, and you're done!

Relationships
Austrobert's behavior is based on one of the stereotype of Mises, calling everyone a Socialist (Even Friedmanite-style Libertarians or even Hayekians.)

Frienemies

 * [[File:Hoppef.png]] Hoppeanism - While we agree economically, he is way too extreme on social issues and sometimes gives the school a bad name.
