Description
This volume explores and engages with the key thinkers and ideas of the Austrian School of economics to better understand how individuals coordinate their separate interests in a peaceful and productive manner by unintentionally forming not only market prices but also rules, customs, cultural norms and other institutional arrangements that allow specialization and trade. Together, these dynamics generate a market order by ameliorating the potential for social conflict, and, in turn, facilitate the conditions for social cooperation and specialization under the division of labor. The diversity in topics and approaches will make the volume of interest to readers in a variety of fields, including anthropology, economics, entrepreneurship, history, philosophy, political science, and public policy.
Reviews / Votes
This volume expands our understanding of the relevance of the market process and market order in the Austrian tradition for political economy today. By applying insights about imperfect human beings who still can form helpful institutions through collective actions rather than one intelligent designer to many aspects of political life, the volume demonstrates the wide applicability of the Austrian tradition of political economy across several policy issues from federalism to Chinese entrepreneurship to education reform. -- Brianne Wolf, Michigan State University This new collection illustrates the continued relevance and promise of Austrian market process thinking for understanding the social world. -- Laura Grube, Beloit CollegeMore details
