"What if economics began with people? Carl Menger. Ludwig von Mises. F.A. Hayek. Murray Rothbard. Israel Kirzner. They're some of the most important and acclaimed economists of the modern era, and they all belong to an intellectual tradition known as the Austrian School of Economics. While many economists model people's behavior using idealized assumptions, Austrian economists begin by taking people as they are and build economic theories by examining the logical structure of the choices they make. This book introduces the key thinkers of the Austrian School and explains their insights on a wide range of economic topics. It also explains the relationship between the Austrian School and mainstream economics and delves into the criticisms Austrian School economists have mounted against communist and socialist economic thought."

The modern school of Austrian economics took shape in the 1970s, and reflects the social science questions of its time. Is it still relevant today, considering that the theories that drive contemporary social science have evolved dramatically over the past few decades? While Austrian concerns such as property rights and imperfect cognition have become more common, other aspects of the Austrian thought are even more idiosyncratic than ever.In the ten chapters included here, leading economists explore whether Austrian economics still has unique insights to offer the world of today. Starting with Peter Boettke's lead essay, "What is Wrong with Austrian Economics?", chapters include an array of perspectives responding to this question, ranging from economics, to intellectual history, to political science, and to philosophy. At the end of the volume, Boettke offers a rejoinder, asking, "What is Right About Austrian Economics?"Together, these essays explore the barriers to the spread of Austrian ideas, ask which disciplines might be receptive to them, examine the role of ideology and funding in helping and hindering the school, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of different strategies for expanding engagement with other scholars.

This book argues, against the dominant orthodoxy in the history of economic thought, for the originality of Carl Menger's contribution to the development of the Austrian school of economics. Situating the evolution of Menger's thought in the tradition of classical political economy, the author documents the emergence of a Mengerian logic and its contribution to the formation of a distinctly Austrian tradition of economics. In its bold elucidation of the shaping of a tradition in economic thought, Tradition and Innovation in Austrian Economics provides a fresh and challenging persp

Dorothea Gerard (1855–1915) was a British novelist specialising in romances. A prolific writer, she often dealt with controversial and unconventional topics. In 1886, while living with her sister in the Austrian province of Galicia, she married the Austrian military officer Julius Longard de Longgarde, and remained a resident of the Austrian Empire for the rest of her life. This volume, first published in 1913, contains Gerard's study of the officer class of the Austrian Imperial Army. She indicates the historical background of the development of the Austrian army, together with a detailed description of the life of contemporary Imperial officers. The book provides fascinating insights into how the myriad constituent nationalities of the Austrian Empire became a cohesive military force and distinct social class within the Empire.

"In the June 2002 issue of International Sociology, Christian Fleck published a report
on the Austrian Sociological Association (OeGS) which was very critical of that
association and the achievements of Austrian sociology in general. In this paper, we
argue that this was a rather one-sided view. We show that the OeGS and its members
have been very active in fostering international contacts with sociologists from
neighbouring countries (Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland), by
organising common congresses and workshops, and publishing books. In the Eighties,
one of the most important achievements – comitted by Fleck - was the initiation of the
European Sociological Association and the organisation of the first European
Congress of Sociology in Vienna in 1992. Fleck not only disparages the achievement
of Austrian sociology in the Sixties and Seventies, but even more so those in the
Eighties and Nineties. Between 1950 and 2002, Austrian sociologists have published
nearly 1200 books (Haller 2004) thus contributing significantly to the establishment
of sociological research and thinking about contemporary Austrian society." (author's abstract)

'Austrian Economics: The Next Generation' brings together emerging and established scholars to explore the insights that can be gleaned from applying Austrian economics to a range of different topics. Spanning a variety of related disciplines, from history to politics to public policy, this collection explores a wide range of topics and how they relate to key Austrian themes. How has Austrian economics evolved over the past 40 years? What is the relationship between history and economic theory? How does the Austrian school of economics compare to other evolutionary schools of economic thought? What can public choice theory take from the concept of emergent order? What role does departmental culture play in enabling or deterring police misconduct? How do the multiple forces shaping the evolution of economic inequality interact with one another? What are the limitations of evidence-based policy? To what extent do regulatory agencies recognize key Austrian insights? How does the platform economy affect the possibilities for regulation of traditional utilities? What can a defense of market institutions rooted in market process theory learn from virtue ethics? Is a classical liberal limited state best situated to cope with the darker side of human nature, or might conservatism or social democracy perform better? This collection explores each of these topics in detail, providing fresh takes on a wide range of important topics.
