About Austrian Economics
Rooted in the tradition of Austrian-born economists Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, and F.A. Hayek, “Austrian” economics is not a specific field within economics, nor is it a set of conclusions. It is a different approach to understanding the social reality that dissents from the mainstream method, theory, and policy. The Austrian School of Economics promotes economic and social thinking that is not trapped in mathematical models only. The analysis focuses on autonomous entrepreneurial action and the free interaction of individuals in the marketplace.
The Austrian school of economics promotes economic and social thinking that is not confined to unrealistic, mostly mathematical models. The analysis focuses on autonomous entrepreneurial action and the free interaction of individuals in the marketplace.
