Our Precious Time: A Beginner's Guide to the Austrian School of Economics

Gareth Williams

Knowledge is power, as they say. Power is energy deployed over time. And this book endeavours to rebalance that power back towards you, the individual. Your energy. Your time.


This is the book I wish I had read when I was young - one that seeks to fill a gap in the presentation of a philosophy of economics that has been too long overlooked. The Austrian School of Economics provides a framework for thinking about the world that makes basic, common sense. A perspective that recognises the uniqueness of the individual - their thoughts, perspectives, values and deeds - and how that bonds our communities. Economics, in truth, is about far more than production and consumption. It is the story of human interaction.


Human Action.


In seeking to encapsulate the core Austrian principles, this book covers everything from anthropology, history, biology, physics, astronomy, mythology, philosophy, sociology, politics, finance, war, peace and more!


The Austrian School of Economics does away with the over-mathematised "physics envy" of traditional economics. Herein, I set out this alternative view of economics, one that is intuitively true and has been suspiciously underrepresented in the mainstream.


If you believe that actions speak louder than words and that it is our deeds that define us, then you might agree that "Good Money' is the most honest, actualized form of communication between human beings. Maybe it is little wonder that the Austrian School's clear diagnosis of our monetary system as corrupt is not taught in schools.


Let us reclaim our individual sovereignty, our power.


Our Precious Time.

About the Author

Williams, Gareth: - "Gareth has spent 27 years in international finance working in countries as geographically distant as Australia from Finland and Brazil from Japan; as culturally diverse as Armenia to Qatar, Norway to Indonesia; and as politically polarised as the USA and China.After a conventional career path clicking through the achievement turnstiles of an economics degree, an accounting qualification with one of the big four and 22 years in a global bank, the persistent insistence on conformity of thought was finally too much to bear. Defiance overcame compliance.Gareth realised he had to be true to his belief in human action. He ditched his career as a managing director at a bank in Hong Kong, moved with his family to Australia and is now seeking to follow his passions through his actions of teaching and writing - ideally, teaching through writing."
