Widespread unemployment and frequent bouts of economic depression have been a reality as long as capitalism has existed. None of the economic theorists presented in Hunt’s History of Economic Thought try to seriously deny this. Instead what can be found are different opinions regarding who or what might be to blame for the lack of stability in these capitalist economies. Offered here are many of these different views, but presented in two distinct categories. The first is made up of theorists who

Economists Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek have both referred to this as the “economic calculation problem.” Market system and a free economy are used to solve this problem.

When the factories went on to close it resulted in a loss of eleven-thousand jobs, and the morale of the
