You are right.  There isn't one.  This 
brings to mind first a song; "What A Wonderful World It Could Be"; and a couple 
of book titles:  "How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World" and 
"Capitalism:
The Unknown Ideal".  Not to be confused with 
the theoritical construct of socialist economic systems
where there are plenty of historical examples of 
abject failure after failure.

      Wow, that's like asking "how do I make money 
      in the markets" in one paragraph or less, but here are a few 
      distinctions:
       
      1.  government invention worsens 
      business cycles and prolongs recession and depression
      2.  they advocate sound, 
      non-inflationary money
      3.  fractional reserve banking is 
      imprudent, inflationary and promotes boom-and-bust cycles
      4.  deflation is not the bogey man 
      Keynesians make it out to be.  It is simply a correction of 
      malinvestment and inflationary excesses
       
      Here's a quote from Rothbard's 1963 
      "America's Great Depression" that distinguishes Austrian theory from 
      what we have come to know as "traditional" economic ideas, and, by 
      parallel, highlights the current problems in trying to solve the Japanese 
      banking situation:
       
      "If government wishes to alleviate, rather 
      than aggravate, a depression, its only valid course is laissez-faire -- to 
      leave the economy alone.  Only if there is no interference, direct or 
      threatened, with prices, wage rates, and business liquidation will the 
      necessary adjustment proceed with smooth dispatch.  Any propping up 
      of shaky positions postpones liquidation and aggravates unsound 
      conditions.  Propping up wage rates creates mass unemployment, and 
      bolstering prices perpetuates and creates unsold surpluses."

        Would you speak to the differences or uniqueness of 
        Austrian economic theories.
