Joseph T. Salerno, economics professor at Pace University and noted Austrian School economist, will discuss his research, "An Austrian View of the Financial Crisis and the Prospects for Recovery," on May 11 as part of the Smith Center for Private Enterprise Studies speaker series.

Salerno is an active scholar in the areas of banking and monetary theory, comparative economics, and the history of economic thought. He serves as editor of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics. His most recent article, "The Second Austrian Revival," is available as a download (PDF). 

Salerno is also the author of Money, Sound and Unsound (Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2010), a book in which he uses the Mises/Rothbard theory of money to reinterpret historical episodes, reevaluate the history of thought, closely examine the Federal Reserve policy, seek out cause and effect in business cycles, provide a new understanding of war and social unrest, and clarify the relationship between the state and the central bank.

The event is free and open to the public. Salerno will speak at 2:00pm in the old university union, room 311.
