Austrian Business Cycle Theory - Government policy error There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of the voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
Austrians generally argue that inherently damaging and ineffective central bank policies, including unsustainable expansion of bank credit through fractional reserve banking, are the predominant cause of most business cycles, as they tend to set artificial interest rates too low for too long, resulting in excessive credit creation, speculative economic bubble|bubbles, and artificially low savings.Thorsten Polleit, [http://mises.org/story/2810 Manipulating the Interest Rate: a Recipe for Disaster], 13 December 2007 Under fiat money|fiat monetary systems, a central bank creates new money when it lends to member banks, and this money is multiplied many times over through the money creation process of the private banks

Austrian Business Cycle Theory - Empirical research According to most economic historians, economies have experienced less severe boom-bust cycles after World War II, because governments have addressed the problem of economic recessions. Many argued, prior to the events of 2008, that this has especially been true since the 1980s because central banks were granted more independence and started using monetary policy to stabilize the business cycle, an event known as The Great Moderation.
Austrian Business Cycle Theory - Reactions of economists and policymakers According to Nicholas Kaldor, Hayek's work on the Austrian business cycle theory had at first fascinated the academic world of economists, but attempts to fill in the gaps in theory led to the gaps appearing larger, instead of smaller, until ultimately one was driven to the conclusion that the basic hypothesis of the theory, that scarcity of capital causes crises, must be wrong.
Lionel Robbins, who had embraced the Austrian theory of the business cycle in The Great Depression (1934), later regretted having written that book and accepted many of the Keynesian counterarguments.R.
