Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

I'm writing an article on Friedrich Hayek, [the myth of] economic optimality, and "market fundamentalism", in 'response' to George Soro's column on the same subject.  While I'm not addressing the methodological debate between Karl Popper and Hayek that Soros refers to, his reference piqued my interest.  I have Popper's three papers published in Economica ("The Poverty of Historicism"  I, II, & III), but I'm wondering what would be the good counterpart in book format (similar to how while Hayek published "The Counter-Revolution of Science" in two articles in Economica, he later published a book by the same title).

Interesting, Lachmann addresses  the methodology of Popper(at the 1:09 mark) and says they are methodologically compatible, and in a way alludes to it briefly at the beginning of the lecture as well:
