Here is a list of the major economic schools currently operating, and how they differ in accessible (or at least reasonably) accessible language.

It depends upon which ideology(‘Cult’) you subscribe to. I talk with people every day who do, and read papers, books, articles, posts, and tweets by people who do.
But the two major cults argue (propagandize) quite differently:
1 – Pseudoscientific Marxist-Postmodern-Feminist-Temporal-Equalitarians who cherry-pick Consumption as a measure of gain or loss,
-OR-
2 – Aristotelian-Empirical-Paternal-Intertemporal-Inequalitarians who account for all Capital changes, whether increases(gain), or in the case of immigration, decreases(loss).
Capital (people who think long term) is the reason for western quality of life. Genetic capital (meaning pedomorphism, intelligence, and time preference) are unrecoverable costs. Cultural capital (truth telling, aristotelianism, and uniquely northern european high trust) are almost as unrecoverable. Institutional capital (rule of natural law of reciprocity, non corrupt institutions, the destruction of familial and tribal bonds, the possibility of democracy because of them) and Normative Capital ( Manners, habits, norms, ethics and morals are almost as unrecoverable as cultural capital.
Pseudoscientific (gender, class, clan, tribe, and race differences are not meaningful or beneficial) or Scientific( gender, class, clan, tribe, and race differences are cumulatively impactful and destructive).
Europe’s been suicidal since the end of the wars, and the collapse of the empires. There are plenty of europeans who use the term white people.
European governments have implemented social programs so costly, and so mobilized women int he workforce that they must destroy the entire civilization in order to pay for one genertation’s consumption.
The dirty secret of europe is that it has to commit suicide, because it can’t unwind the impossible commitments it’s given.
Once you realize the Marxist->Keynesian->Postmodernist->Feminist ‘philosophy’ is just a restatement of middle eastern christianity in pseusoscientific, pseudorational and contral-logical prose, then you realize europe continuse to fight empirical modernity just as hard as every other nation.
She just is more artful about lying about it to herself.
The next fiscal collapse, will end the experiment. And it’s certain to occur within the next decade.

Because it’s (a) it’s justified, and (b) anyone quoting mises or rothbard is a more than little like quoting Marx: ridiculous. Why? Mises created a pseudoscience. He had a basic insight he took from Simmel, and another he took from Weber, and he worked very hard to create an operational logic with which to test empirical statements.
You can read the full workup on facebook. I’ll eventually get it into book form but I have too much in progress and it’s too low on my priority list.
And yes I’m correct and I’ll debate anyone living. Even though Hoppe is the only one capable…
Go to Facebook, and search for ‘scientific.praxeology’.
The first article says ‘READ ME FIRST’. It’s the outline.

You don’t need to read a book. It’s too simple a subject for a book.
1) They provided heavy tax incentives to companies who would locate there and employ skilled (technology) workers.
2) They have the UK judicial system, which after the USA is the best in the world, and therefore minimizes investment risk and corruption risk.
3) They had a pool of underutilized, over-educated, human capital, that speaks english, is christian, part of scandinavian culture(yes), at cheap hourly cost. (Ireland is the catholic version of orthodox culture’s Ukraine. )
4) They benefited from (forced) redistribution from the EU.
In other words, the irish miracle is a function of low taxation, a median IQ of 100, and low cost, educated population, with northern european ethics and morals, the world’s language of business (english), and one of the world’s best legal systems.
This strategy is replicable if and only if you have the HUMAN CAPITAL and CULTURAL CAPITAL and KNOWLEDGE CAPITAL to duplicate it. Ergo, this strategy is very close to exhausted. (Although the tech sector of Ukraine is working hard to copy it.)

They take too long to revolt.

MSFT has been a heavy recruiter from India for decades. India has only about a 200M person above ground economy, but that’s still a huge population of at least marginal english speakers to draw from, with low problems of integration into american culture.
Before Microsoft the only sizable employer was Boeing, who heavily employed technical people.
Washington and Oregon were not heavily industrialized during the war era, and did not draw ‘laboring classes’ or ‘underclasses’ in large numbers from the declining agrarian lands.
Also, during the 1950’s and 1960’s it was illegal to move here if you were a ‘person of color’.
For these reasons the northwest is somewhat (for now) idyllic part of the country was insulated from mass importation of the underclasses, and the accompanying racial conflicts between races, ethnicities, and immigrants.
Currently the area is too expensive to import the underclasses. So it’s possible that the area may stay ‘idyllic’ for a few more years. High prices protect regions from underclasses.
The area has been in rapid decline for about six years now, if not eight, due to massive influx of people driving up prices.
Let me promise you something: Microsoft will not succeed in the transformation. It missed it’s window. I don’t know Satya outside of one deal I did. But microsoft has been a 100M a year customer for me and mine, for much of my adult life. And if I know how to collapse that company economically and technologically then some other competitor does.
When that happens …. those tacky buildings in redmond will turn downtown in to slums. And prices, at least on the east side, will do what they did in Boston when the tech boom moved from the northeast to california.
I got out early.

WHAT DOES TRUTH MEAN? (AND WHAT IS ITS ADJECTIVE FORM?)
Truth can only mean ‘descriptive testimony free of error, bias, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit’. In other words, speech, the semantic content of which corresponds with reality.
One speaks truthfully, or untruthfully , or honestly or dishonestly.
To be precise, one speaks honestly not having done due diligence, nor warrantying one’s speech. One speaks truthfully having done due diligence, and warrantying one’s speech.
So you might speak honestly – not having done due diligence on your speech. But that is not the same as speaking truthfully – having done due diligence on your speech. So you might give your honest opinion, but that differs from doing diligence that such an opinion survives criticism – meaning correspondence.
Both the physical sciences and law specialize in the art of due diligence. As an extension of law, anglo analytic philosophy attempts to specialize in the art of due diligence. Strangely, continental philosophy does the opposite.
But if speaking truthfully requires that we perform due diligence, and warranty our speech, then how does one perform such due diligence? How do we test correspondence? In the most simple of terms, a truth statement must be:
And if you want to claim it’s ethical and moral (and objectively legal):
We use the word ‘Truth’ in many, many contexts. Most of them somewhere between a convenience and a dishonesty. True, honest, logical, and good are independent concepts frequently conflated to attribute authority where it is absent.
