The Elgar Companion to Austrian Economics

About this book

The Elgar Companion to Austrian Economics is a major new reference work which highlights the common ground between all the branches of the school while demonstrating the breadth and diversity within it. The Companion reflects the many areas where Austrian economists have made contributions including technical economics methodology of the social sciences political theory and political science. This book includes contributions from an international group of scholars whose work demonstrates a basic similarity and interest in questions which have historically been associated with the Austrian approach to economics although many of the contributors would not consider themselves to be strictly of this school. The distinguished team of contributors commissioned by the editor includes: K.D. Hoover I.M. Kirzner A. Klamer D. Lavoie C.K. Rowley M. Rizzo M. Rutherford R.E. Wagner U. Witt L. Yeager. Each entry is fully referenced and includes suggestions for further readings on the topic. The Companion will be the standard reference work for all those engaged in the field of Austrian Economics. It not only introduces students to the Austrian school but also serves as an important research tool for scholars working within the Austrian tradition.
