Look at this article (not the content per se but the reader comments back and forth).
While my colleague will presumably consider this source (web site) a "hack" or "neo-con driven blabber", I think it's an engaging (other than the unecessary name-calling that seems to eventually unravel) conversation in the reader comments. Pay specific attention to the comments by the author, blackhedd, Osbourne and wampuss/swamp.

Haha. Interesting indeed. I'm seeing alot of evidence of battered wife syndrome in there: posters thanking the fed for "solving" crises that it creates through the years. I'm also seeing astonishing levels of ignorance on both sides, although the Austrian folks (Scott742) appears to have done more homework. Good thing I don't pull my economic info from blogs. I think I'll stick with, I dunno, books written by actual economists.
General commentary on the issue is simply the point being made. A question was asked and people chimed in. Again, I thought the points made on BOTH sides were interesting. But, thanks for the tip on reading economic books. I can only assume those books have to come from the Mises Institute or else there hack jobs. I'll be sure to park my black sedan out front of the Atlanta Fed. I'll meet you there.
Not necessarily from Mises. Human Action is a bear. Hayek would be a good start, though. He's not an Austrian specifically, but a big free-marketeer. His tomes are freakin' long though. Road to Serfdom is a good one. Not sure about the sedan, I'm more of a black van guy myself. Better fit for the monitoring equipment...
