Funded by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries, the Mises- and Hayek-inspired âfreeâ market has adopted âThe Slogan of Libertyâ - but should their faith-based assertions be accorded the same epistemological status as a science? If Austrian economics is a branch of divinely revealed âknowledgeâ - as the epigone Godfather, Hans Sennholz, insists - what validity do its policy recommendations have? Should those who falsely claim to have PhDs be tax-funded as âPost-Doctoral Fellowsâ and âProfessorsâ?  This volume examines the consequences of the âfreeâ market colonisation of economics â climate change, financial crises and the corruption of academic discourse
