Didn't Basile go to school there? I'm pretty sure he trained Arnold and his Nazi father the hypertrophy principles there.

Austrian Economics is predicated on the idea that the best way to peace and prosperity is via a Capitalist system with free, unhampered markets and an international division of labor. Entrepreneurs compete with each other for profits which serve the purpose of directing capital to those best capable of satisfying consumer wants and needs.

Bodybuilding is predicated on the idea that if you spend the day lifting weights, taking steroids, looking in the mirror, drinking protein shakes and farting, the world owes you a living, even though you produce nothing.

I'm not seeing much of a correlation, here. :-\ ???
