The book brings together sources that to some Austrians may appear hardly compatible, if not inconsistent. Insiders know that there are some significant differences between the views of, say, Mises, Hayek, and Lachman,even with respect to method and methodology. However, the book integrates these different Austrian sources into a relatively coherent picture. The fact that the authors do not want to enter in any depth into issues presently underdebate within the “Austrian” School itself may be explained by the fact that they intend to address their book to the economics profession at large rather than to the inner circle of convinced Austrians. The drawback of this strategy is that the reader will not find in the book answers relating to questions that have been intensely debated recently within Austrian economics itself.

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.
