info About Bullshit Buster
Our Mission
Bullshit Buster is your arsenal against economic misinformation. We compile quick, fact-based responses to the most common economic lies and fallacies spread on social media and in public discourse.
Stop losing the bullshit asymmetry. Every fallacy has a ready-made rebuttal here - with videos, quotes, data, and authoritative sources from Austrian Economics and sound economic thinking.
What is Austrian Economics?
The Austrian School of Economics is a school of economic thought that emphasizes:
- Individual Action: Economic phenomena arise from the choices and actions of individuals
- Subjective Value: Value is determined by individual preferences, not intrinsic properties
- Spontaneous Order: Complex social institutions emerge naturally from human interaction
- Free Markets: Voluntary exchange and private property lead to prosperity
- Limited Government: Government intervention often produces unintended consequences
Key Thinkers
Our responses draw from the Austrian School tradition including Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and others who understood economic reality.
We also reference Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and other economists committed to sound economic principles and factual analysis.
