Aug. 9 – 20, 2010
Lecturer: Prof. Antal E. Fekete
Guest Lecturers: Rudy Fritsch (Canada)

The school is meant for all students (including beginners) interested in the Austrian theory of money, credit and banking. The school’s program plans to cover the whole spectrum of Austrian economics. It is recommended especially for those who have read the papers of Prof. Fekete about the instability of the present monetary system and would like to follow up the questions raised or had difficulties in understanding his statements.
The complete program consists of four courses (10 days, 20 lectures each). Completion of each of the four courses will earn one credit. Students with 4 credits will earn a diploma, approved by the Adult Education Accreditation Board of Hungary and signed by Professor Fekete. Accreditation has been applied for. The four courses are as follows:
Course I: Disorder and Coordination in Economics — Has the world reached the ultimate economic and monetary disorder?
Course II: Adam Smith’s Real Bills Doctrine and the Social Circulating Capital
Course III: The Austrian Theory of Interest and Discount
Course IV: The Austrian Theory of Money, Credit and Banking
Time and place for Courses II-IV will be announced later.
Participants of the course could stay on afterwards and savor the superb spa and cultural offerings in Budapest. Make it a family holiday! Eating and shopping facilities, as well as a swimming pool are nearby. Spectacular sight-seeing and excursions can be arranged in the surrounding hills, and boat trips on the River Danube.
The tuition fee for Course I is EUR 1,000, including printed handouts. Travel costs, accommodation and meals are at the expense of the participants. However, the school made arrangements for participants at favorable rates, see next page.
