# Austrian Economics
Austrian economics is a school of economic thought that emphasizes individual freedom, private property, and limited government involvement in the economy. It was developed primarily by economists from Austria during the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. The core concepts of Austrian economics have become increasingly relevant to many aspects of modern life including cryptocurrency trading and investment decisions.

## History Of Austrian Economics
The roots of Austrian economics can be traced back to Carl Menger’s publication Principles Of Economics (1871). In this book he outlined his theory on subjective value which rejected classical cost-of-production theories that sought to explain goods prices through their labor or production costs alone. This new approach led other economists such as Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk and Friedrich Hayek who further developed it into what we now know today as the ‘Austrian School’ – an alternative approach to neoclassical macroeconomics based upon methodological individualism rather than aggregate data analysis.

Additionally they reject Keynesian ideas regarding fiscal policy believing instead that savings should be encouraged over consumption so as not increase debt levels while also reducing inflationary pressures due to increased money supply created via borrowing/lending activities between financial institutions governed by market forces such as interest rates set naturally at equilibrium points depending on risk factors associated with lending out capital etc…

## How Does It Impact Cryptocurrencies?
Given these beliefs around free markets without external interference one could argue then that cryptocurrencies offer investors a unique opportunity for them achieve greater self sufficiency within their own financial lives given no need rely centralized systems controlled governments or third parties when transacting online – something only previously achievable with physical cash transactions before digital currencies were invented! Moreover since most cryptos lack any direct ties real world assets like gold or fiat currency there’s less chance asset bubbles forming same way stockmarket does due speculation driving up prices beyond underlying values beyond intrinsic worth creating unsustainable bubbles similar seen during 2008 crisis example caused subprime mortgage loan defaults US housing market collapse causing ripple effects across global economies leading subsequent recession period experienced throughout much 2009 onward…
