An Austrian economist predicting the end of the world? I'm shocked!

Gary North is Austrian?

[ConceptJunkie → rookonaut]

"Austrian" in this case refers to someone who is of the Austrian school of economics.

[jswinghammer → rookonaut]

Yes. Sometimes he's good but definitely not on this topic.

This is maybe a stupid question but what does it mean to be Austrian in this context? Is he born in Austria or is this a reference to the Austrian School of Economics?

I'd presume economics here. There is no context where his birthplace is relevant.

School of Economics
