Today, the tradition of Austrian economics is enjoying a resurgence. Austrian economists are engaged in theoretical and applied research on a wide array of topics. What unifies this school of thought—what might be called its theme—is the methodological outlook of its members: subjectivism.

White concentrates on six authors who have been most notable for their use and defense of the subjectivist approach: Carl Menger, Friedrich von Wieser, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich A. Hayek, and Ludwig Lachmann.
