In the following I shall try, first, to briefly introduce the two interpretations of Schutz’s relationship with the Austrians, and second, to cast new and more detailed light upon some aspects of the relationship and to do so by drawing upon a large number of previously unknown or neglected materials, which may seriously challenge the standard picture of Schutz’s relation to the Austrians. Having done so, I shall offer some conjectures for why this redrawn picture of the personal relationship may enlighten our understanding of the intellectual relationship.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
