The Austrian school is generally critical of the use of fiat currency and prefers money be backed by gold (https://money.usnews.com/investing/funds/slideshows/best-gold-etfs-to-hedge-volatility) reserves or some other form of tangible resource. They believe the use of inconvertible fiat money encourages governments to devalue currencies, destroy savings and create inflation.

Austrian economists generally rely on logic and critical thinking more than complex statistical models and formulas. They believe maintaining free markets and protecting the money supply are keys to ensuring social progress and civil liberty. As a result, central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve (https://money.usnews.com/investing/term/federal-reserve-bank) can be enemy number one for Austrian economists.

Asher Rogovy, chief investment officer at Magnifina, says Austrian economics suggests central banks should take a hands-off approach to the economy.

"Central banks can control an economy's money supply, which affects interest rates. Austrian-school economists tend to believe that inflation is simply a function of money supply and therefore it should remain constant to avoid inflation," Rogovy says.
