Description and Table of Contents
Description
Presenting a concise overview of the post-war decline in popularity of the Austrian school of economics and its subsequent revival in the late twentieth century, this updated second edition offers a theoretical and historical introduction to the ideas of the Austrian school and its intellectually distinguishing qualities.
Featuring fresh and insightful comparisons between the Austrian school and other schools of thought, this enhanced second edition includes an expanded discussion on the evolution of the Austrian school in the 21st century. The Advanced Introduction considers the field's key originators and proponents and reflects on the acceleration in interest in the last two decades.
Key features include:
An illustration of the key arguments that have defined heterodox economics, including the Austrian school's role in the socialist calculation debate
In-depth discussions of entrepreneurship and the role of the firm in the scholarship of the Austrian school
New material relating Austrian economics to other schools of thought.
Undergraduate and graduate students in economics and political science will find this Advanced Introduction indispensable for understanding the revival of the Austrian school. Policymakers will also benefit from its concise and sharp overview of the school and its insights into the key features and debates.
