eeeeeh, yes it is very different.
Is it? Mind you, I am not equation the *consequences*.
The theory that the Fed has been the cause of economic woes is simplistic, and long been shown to be wrong by Economists. But, it is a perfect scapegoat for people wanting to get out of the economic crisis.
Libertarians have a desire for a "Revolution", and frankly, that's what Germans wanted in the 1930s. They too jumped on simplistic explanations of economic decline.
I also have to say, what I've seen on RP forums, they're not full of people with deep understandings of economics. All they do is regurgitate mantras they've been fed.
