Growth of the Austrian School

Paul Cwik and Shawn Ritenour revisit the often-overlooked “forgotten Austrians” who extended Mengerian economics beyond Vienna. From Wicksteed and Fetter to Strigl and Smart, this session highlights how the early Austrian tradition flourished across borders, until it was eclipsed by Walrasian formalism and Anglo-American Marshallianism.
