Equilibrium Illusions

Tags: Austrian Economics Overview

07/25/2024 Jonathan Newman

Jonathan Newman challenges mainstream interpretations of equilibrium, showing how Austrian economics replaces static models with a dynamic, step-by-step view of market coordination. Drawing on Mises, Rothbard, and Salerno, he explains how real-world prices emerge from individual choices and imperfect knowledge, not from abstract supply-demand curves or idealized conditions

Mises University is the world’s leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

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.
