'Austrians' Vs. 'Market Monetarists' On The Housing Bubble

In particular, prominent Market Monetarists have challenged the Austrian narrative of the housing bubble, arguing that the claims of "malinvestment" and the need for reallocation of resources do not fit the data. Yet as we'll see, it's the Market Monetarists who are defying common sense with their alternate version of history.
