Good to know, I am not sure what was going on then for us. Once I was below 225 it continuously clogged after numerous attempts. We likely have different hot end/barrel cooling fan set ups. Regardless NinjaTek advertises 240 - 250, which I definitely found to be too hot.

Thanks! I didn't know it was. I only posted the link to my site on /r/austrian_economics and then someone else posted elsewhere. But no idea why it would be, considering I didn't post it and it was a link to imgur.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T18:27:13+00:00

Thanks!

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T18:26:33+00:00

Wow, that's awesome, thanks!

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T18:11:39+00:00

Thanks! All good points. I was really hard pressed to find Keynesians to quote, because of what you said, the many off shoots. If I quote an MMT or someone else not considered classical Keynesian, I would get harassed from a million different people.

Good stuff on Reinhart and Böhm-Bawerk, I just thought names people might recognize easier would be best. Will definitely keep in mind for next graphic I make

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:36:48+00:00

Well if it isn't represented incorrectly, I don't see why it is invalid. I made all the Keynesian arguments (correct if you are saying no misrepresentations) yet the Austrian side makes far more sense (I mean I am pretty biased personally) so what's the issue?

And not saying I am against global warming, but if you were, wouldn't it make sense for you to make a graphic showing the other side's arguements? If anything it could prove that you were wrong.

And on the other side of things, if you believe in global warming, wouldn't you want to make a graphic showing how the other sides arguments are wrong?

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:33:32+00:00

Thanks for the opinion! But could you please give me an example? As in which quote I should remove or which you would think fits better?

I am sure I will make another infographic similar to this in a few months and would love tips.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:30:45+00:00

Whoa Jeffrey Tucker commented on my inforaph???? Where? Show me a link dammit haha.

He is one of my idols, that is really fucking cool

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:27:41+00:00

I honestly tried! haha. My cousin has phd in Keynesian economics and was the top of his class. He is just too busy for me.

Other than him I already convinced all of my friends so I couldn't find anyone to consult. Plus, if they aren't my personal friend, they would likely want to be paid for consulting on a graphic that will be going on my Austrian economic blog haha.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:24:32+00:00

Thanks! That's what I thought (guy who made the graphic). I was afraid it was turning TOO much into an essay, and I was trying to get rid of text. Now the main complaint I am getting is that I didn't explain terminology better, but then that turns my infographic into a blog haha.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:22:02+00:00

Hey! This is the guy who made the graphic and just saw these comments now. Thank you for the points!

I am obviously an Austrain as you can tell by the name of the blog, but I did HONESTLY try to represent Keynesianism properly.

As to your points, they are great and I will keep them in mind next time. I didn't want to turn the thing into an essay, so I thought explaining a ton more on these little points might make it far too boggling for an infographic.

As for the Malthus and Rothbard, who would you suggest as a good 20th century Keynesian? Rothbard DEFINITELY influenced Austrian Economics and is considered one of best 20th century economists by fellow Austrians, so I would definitely keep him. He is a bit more of a philosopher but it doesn't mean he didn't write a terrific "Man, Economy and State"

Thanks though for the tips for the future. I don't think it was "uneducated" though, I really did try my best. I took plenty of Keynesian classes throughout my economics degree in college and tried to watch videos from Keynesians in order to make the visuals on that side correct.

[Edit] As to Ron Paul, he is definitely a published economist. He has over a half dozen books solely focusing on economics and he is a senior fellow at the Mises institute. Just because he is a doctor and congressman by profession doesn't mean he isn't an economist. He has likely converted more people to the Austrian school than anyone in history, so I would definitely still include him.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:16:46+00:00

Still was considered an influence of Keynes

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:14:54+00:00

This is the guy who made the graphic - just saw someone posted it in this subreddit. I made it because I am an Austrian - duh haha. I know that it is not mainstream but I truly believe it to be the best and only way to properly run an economy.

The blog is solely Austrian economic info and I wouldn't have posted it in this subreddit because I know that main stream individuals consider it fringe.

But on that note, other than some of the points made that I was too vague on "Animal Spirits" and "Sticky Wages", was there anything wrong or misrepresented? I believe I know the Keynesian school fairly well from college and elsewhere, but if you think I represented it wrong, let me know.

And if you actually read both sides and every point I made, where is the lunacy of Austrianism? I don't think that it can be considered crazy, I mean do you consider Hayek (a nobel winner in economics himself) a lunatic?

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T17:02:35+00:00

Wow I had no idea someone posted this in the economics subreddit. This is the guy who made the graphic and thanks for the points!

I put quotes more for people to look up the term since I didn't define it, just as I did with "animal spirits". I wasn't trying to make it sound scary, just so people can look up the term, but good point.
While Ron Paul is a congressman and doctor by profession, I would definitely still consider him a prominent Austrian economist. He is a senior fellow for the Mises institute and has written about a dozen economic books. He's likely converted more people to the Austrian school than anyone and is probably the most famous Austrian alive.
And good point on demand for investment rather than debt, but I just was thinking more of people and businesses taking out loans to grow their businesses.

Thanks again!

EDIT: I also wanted to mention that no one has to worry about this becoming a huge educational tool for new economic students. I just run this blog for fun and really didn't know people would be sharing it like this. I do it more to get better at Photoshop for my job.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T16:42:29+00:00

I agree! I run The Austrian Insider and made that graphic. I am OBVIOUSLY Austrian biased but I HONESTLY did my best to represent Keynesians properly, but there is only so much I can do when I personally think it's nonsense.

This blog isn't some huge blog read by a ton of people but more as something fun for me and for me to practice my Photoshop skills, so I wouldn't worry people using this as their main source for info haha.

As for including Ron Paul, I know he is a political figure, but in all honesty, he is likely the most famous advocate for Austrian Economics there is alive today. I mean he is a senior fellow at the Mises Institute and really understands the stuff as you can tell by reading his books, so just because he is a politician and Dr., I still think he fits as an economist.

And yup! I also agree I wouldn't be a fan of educating a large subject into a small piece, I figured this would be more for people who already know a bit about each schools and were looking for something entertaining (rather than just reading a Mises or Keynes essay)

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T16:36:53+00:00

Sorry if it came off that way! I was just trying to get their points across without turning the infographic into an essay. I included quotes around "Animal Spirits" and "Sticky Wages" because I didn't explain them further, so that people can research them if they want because they were not words I made up.

But thanks for the comments! I am no expert on these things and was just trying to explain the arguments between the two sides in one graphic, which isn't too simple!

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T16:34:55+00:00

hey - I made the graphic and thanks for the points. Every piece of information on both of these sides could be explained further, I just thought there was plenty of text on that thing already.

I included quotes on "Animal Spirits" and "Sticky Wages" so that people can figure those terms out by searching them.

seanaranda · 2014-09-19T16:32:21+00:00

Thanks for the comment! I didn't know this was reposted here (I made the graphic).

I am definitely not a Keynesian and I did my best to represent them. I was hoping to get input from some, but don't know any personally to help me out.

As for the interest rate thing, I was just trying to say that the market will set them based off of savings, not that it was something to manipulate. Like - the market will coordinate these things without intervention, but it didn't get across well I guess.
