A Summary of the Austrian Economists
The Ludwig von Mises Institute provides articles about the Austrian School of economics and the major economists in the school. This short piece attempts to compliment these works. It presents an overview (in the form of a table) of the four main Austrian School economists and their major works. To purchase books, see the Mises Institute catalog. A great place to start learning about the Austrian School is an audio lecture from the Mises Media Library called Mises and the Foundation of Austrian Economics by Jorg Guido Hülsmann.
