The problem isn't politics, its been made to look that way but the issue is that the people who would know have been silenced in a way that the general public hasn't recognized. Its not in the benefit of the corporate overlords that you be properly educated on this.

I'll give you a brief TL;DR on the issues.

The wealth of a nation is based in its ability to produce primarily goods, and sometimes services. Pricing is a signaling mechanism that allows efficient resource allocation of both goods, and factor market labor.

When misallocation results, you get things like busts and booms where the benefits are front-loaded and a resource exhaustion cycle takes place. There are constraints which cannot be breached for any length of time, such as wages being lower than the cost of living enough to support a wife and three children to 18, and other things. Legitimate business can't operate if it can't make a profit.

There is silently nationalized industry that is unconstrained via a cycle of money-printing that has sieved assets into few hands, and risk concentrated in few hands. This is part of the danger of the ECP, and other fundamental failures related to centralized systems.

The Austrian school lives in the future. The future under a breakdown of organized society is one of death and potentially extinction. We depend on food production in ecological overshoot which depends on technology and farming. The 1970s represented ecological overshoot. When that fails you get shortage, that then sustains, famine, slavery, death, and then extinction.

Under socio-economic collapse everything fails. Currency is abandoned. Exchange cannot happen. The store of value and exchange of value fails. This happened during the Bronze Age (of which we have very little records that remain).

If these happen for extended periods of time, capital dries up and you get something like the great depression, Nintendo, and other places where logistics refuses to deliver goods at any potential profit because they were burned too many times.

There exist systems that will fail eventually and predictably (in general), but which you cannot predict specifically when those failures will happen, its unknowable, and the effects one would use to justify any decision lag behind the objective indicators of the actions that needed to be avoided.

Money-printing extracts value from those that hold the currency through the cantillion effect. Its an extraction of unpaid slave labor. Eventually it exceeds the store of value, and the businesses that normally produce stop producing. Exchange stops, etc. AI presents a unique spin on this as well because it accelerates the corruption of signalling presenting false signals chaotically in both labor and good markets.

In positive feedback systems, these type of systems commonly run-away and converge at a point of calamity. When they do the dynamics are unstoppable.

The MMT folks are delusional, having rested quite a lot of their false justifications on unsound practice to justify extraction of value.

The Keynesian's aren't so different from the MMT folks because they improperly look at certain things only in isolation with a seeming mental block to all other things, which is a form of false justification.

The bankers (if you can call them that) have corrupted leadership, and enabled sieving through non-reserve debt issuance. The mechanism over the years is leveraged buyout. The business cycle today largely runs on the ponzi cycle with debt issued upfront providing benefits upfront, followed by enshittification as the resource exhaustion cycle runs its course.

Chaos is fundamentally destructive. Large societies don't implode when they have stable stores of value, a rule of law (not by law), and manufacture goods their populace needs.

Market dynamics fundamentally fail to operate as a market under slave labor as a function of the cost function for the majority of participants. It doesn't matter if that labor is provided by a foreign power with costs socialized, or stolen through the currency through deficit spending. When you cannot know correct prices, everything falls apart at fundamental levels but you don't see it until its too late after which point the only thing you can do is start over; but existing structures under such systems seek control to the point of extinction.

No one gives power up willingly, and those that have it seek to destroy the ability for others to take it.

You can't ever make a consensus when a good portion of the people part of that consensus have become delusional, often without them even realizing it.
