The Internet site www.zerohedge.com has been publishing plagiarized intellectual work. Doubtless, its owner Tyler Durden is unaware of this situation. We publish this in order that he may be aware of the true authorship of materials he has been putting up on his influential website.

The intellectual work of Prof. Antal E. Fekete, Dean of the New Austrian School of Economics, has been plagiarized by Keith Weiner, who currently presents his articles without giving either partial or full credit due to the master who taught him what he is now parroting, as evidenced in: “Guest Post: The Unadulterated Gold Standard – Part 3” posted on zerohedge.com on December 21, 2012.

Every single thought in that article originated in the teachings of Prof. Antal E. Fekete, of Budapest. Not one word of recognition is afforded to the author, by Weiner. Please read “Critique of Mainstream Austrian Economics” by Prof. Antal E. Fekete, which can be found on the GATA website, www.lemetropolecafe.com, for confirmation of the true authorship of the ideas in the zerohedge.com article, which Wiener has presented as his work.

This is behavior that cannot be countenanced.

For additional confirmation of our allegation, Tyler Durden may also examine Prof. Fekete’s website www.professorfekete.com.

It is unacceptable that the most significant advance in economic theory since the 19th Century work of the founder of the Austrian School, Carl Menger, should be plagiarized by a pupil and palmed off as his own.
