The Austrian School of Economics-a movement that has had a vast impact on economics, politics, and society, especially among the American right-is poorly understood by supporters and detractors alike. Defining themselves in opposition to the mainstream, economists such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Joseph Schumpeter built the School's international reputation with their work on business cycles and monetary theory. Their focus on individualism-and deep antipathy toward socialism-ultimately won them a devoted audience among the upper echelons of business and government. In this collective biography, Janek Wasserman brings these figures to life, showing that in order to make sense of the Austrians and their continued influence, one must understand the backdrop against which their philosophy was formed-notably, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and a half-century of war and exile. 651 7 $a Austria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204901 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 $a Austrian school of economics $x History. 650 0 $a Economics $z Austria $x History. 650 0 $a Economics $x Philosophy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105024839.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77D56770FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
