Richard M. Salsman is an American economist and lecturer. His work incorporates Objectivist philosophy and supply-side economics [1]. In particular, Salsman admires the ideas of economists such as Jean-Baptiste Say and Carl Menger ^[1] as opposed to more modern supply-siders such as Arthur Laffer. Salsman is most known for his support of the gold standard and free banking, his opposition to central banking [2], his critiques of the philosophy of Austrian Economists such as Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, his work on the causes and consequences of the Great Depression [3] and his homages to the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Say [4].
