Austrian Economics and the Bloomington School
Author: Paul Dragos Aligica
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 17
Book Description
This paper compares and contrasts two schools of political economy: the Austrian School, prominent members of which include Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises; and the Bloomington School, which was founded by Elinor and Vincent Ostrom. It is argued that the two traditions share a good deal in common: both have improved our understanding of the limits of centralised or monocentric approaches to the organisation of society, as well as of the potential of polycentric systems to facilitate the effective use of local knowledge; and both have also engaged in empirical strategies that have privileged being “on the ground” and efforts to understand their subject's point of view. The paper also discusses how in practice relations between the two schools were mediated by the work of two other groups of thinkers: school, namely the Virginia school of political economy -- or public choice theory -- as developed by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock; and the ordo-liberal or Freiburg school of Walter Eucken and Franz Böhm. However, notwithstanding such common ground, it is also argued the facts that the links between the two schools are not as strong as they might be. This essay suggests how those connections might be deepened, in particular by summarising the arguments advanced in the essays contained in the volume to which it serves as the Introduction.

Austrian Economics
Author: Steven Horwitz
Publisher: Cato Institute
ISBN: 1948647966
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
What if economics began with people? Choice is an essential feature of the human condition. Every time we embark on a given plan of action, big or small, we make a choice. Whereas many economists model people’s behavior using idealized assumptions, economists of the Austrian School don’t. The Austrian School of Economics takes people as they are and constructs economic theories by examining the logical structure of the choices they make. Austrian Economics: An Introduction book explains the Austrian School’s insights on a wide range of economic topics and introduces some of its key thinkers. It also explains the relationship between the Austrian School and mainstream economics and delves into the criticisms that Austrian School economists have mounted against communist and socialist economic thought.

The Oxford Handbook of Austrian Economics
Author: Peter J. Boettke
Publisher:
ISBN: 0199811768
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 833
Book Description
The Austrian School of Economics is an intellectual tradition in economics and political economy dating back to Carl Menger in the late-19th century. Menger stressed the subjective nature of value in the individual decision calculus. Individual choices are indeed made on the margin, but the evaluations of rank ordering of ends sought in the act of choice are subjective to individual chooser. For Menger, the economic calculus was about scarce means being deployed to pursue an individual's highest valued ends. The act of choice is guided by subjective assessments of the individual, and is open ended as the individual is constantly discovering what ends to pursue, and learning the most effective way to use the means available to satisfy those ends. This school of economic thinking spread outside of Austria to the rest of Europe and the United States in the early-20th century and continued to develop and gain followers, establishing itself as a major stream of heterodox economics. The Oxford Handbook of Austrian Economics provides an overview of this school and its theories. The various contributions discussed in this book all reflect a tension between the Austrian School's orthodox argumentative structure (rational choice and invisible hand) and its addressing of a heterodox problem situations (uncertainty, differential knowledge, ceaseless change). The Austrian economists from the founders to today seek to derive the invisible hand theorem from the rational choice postulate via institutional analysis in a persistent and consistent manner. Scholars and students working in the field of History of Economic Thought, those following heterodox approaches, and those both familiar with the Austrian School or looking to learn more will find much to learn in this comprehensive volume.
