MMT simply adds layers of obfuscation to hide the violent nature of the practice. You can deny that is theft, but you cannot deny the fundamentally violent basis of fiat currency. I can print money too, but I don't have enough guns to make anyone accept it:

"Money is the medium of exchange the people choose" Somebody hasn't read their monetary history. The people have chosen fractional reserve banking as their preferred system historically, not 100% reserves(which have always been subsidized by government):

Bank runs are impossible without fractional reserve banking. Fractional reserve banking was a fraud established when we were still on the gold standard. Banks would give more IOU’s out than gold the depositors had deposited. Fractional reserve banking always ends in

To anyone interested, my book delves even more into the meat and potatoes of the disagreements between Austrian economists, and how we can synthesize/correct for them:

That isn't very fair to Friedman. He said Mises did more than anyone to "spread the ideas of free markets." He thought very highly of him.

Paul Volcker himself said he knew of no theoretical justification for the 2% target. Preventing monetary disequilibrium (Selgin's producivity norm) would very likely be more stable than this policy.

Indeed, why is it 2% when the overwhelming majority of the literature on optimal monetary policy suggests the optimal inflation rate is less than or equal to 0%.

Unfortunately the key phrase is "done more". Murray is a more consistent defender of free markets, but Milton has brought _more_ people closer to the idea of free markets then Rothbard, who is relatively niche. Like I said, it's unfortunate because I prefer Rothbard personally
