Scoala austriaca

The Austrian tradition began formally with Carl Menger's 1871 work Principles of Economics. But its roots stretch back to the late-scholastic period, when philosophers first began to think systematically about the relationship between human choice and material resources.

Applied Austrian economics doesn't get better than this. Murray N. Rothbard's America's Great Depression is a staple of modern economic literature and crucial for understanding a pivotal event in American and world history.

The number of insights in these volumes are countless. Every page, every paragraph, bursts with intellectual energy and the author's fiery passion to tell the reader the remarkable story of economics. Many reviewers have remarked that Rothbard's accomplishment seems super-human. He seems to have read everything. His originality is overwhelming. His passion for liberty and integrity in science is evident.

The wave of deregulation that has swept the American economy in the past decade has now reached the last bastion of traditional economic intervention, antitrust law. Scholars have skeptically reexamined the case for antitrust, regulatory authorities have eased their grip, and now the Reagan administration has proposed a sweeping reform of the Clayton Act.

This 100-page tour de force rips the intellectual cover off antitrust regulation to reveal it for what it is: a bludgeon used by businesses against their competitors. Unlike some critics, Professor Armentano carries the logic of his analysis to fullest possible length:
"My position on antitrust has never been ambiguous," he writes. "All of the antitrust laws and all of the enforcement agency authority should be summarily repealed. The antitrust apparatus cannot be reformed; it must be abolished."

New edition with an introduction by Roger Garrison and an index. Booms and busts are not endemic to the free market, argues the Austrian theory of the business cycle, but come about through manipulation of money and credit by central banks. In this monograph, Austrian giants explain and defend the theory against alternatives. Includes essays by Mises, Rothbard, Haberler, and Hayek.

If we were to take the greatest economists from all ages and judge them on the basis of their theoretical rigor, their influence on economic education, and their impact in support of the free-market economy, then Frédéric Bastiat would be at the top of the list.

Imposibilitatea calculelor de rentabilitate în cadrul monopolurilor coercitive condamnă la haos economic atât socialismul global, cât şi presupusele întreprinderi legitime ale statului minimal sau limitat, începând cu „protecţia” etatistă a proprietăţii.

Richard Ritter von Strigl (1891-1942) was one of the most brilliant Austrian economists of the interwar period. As professor at the University of Vienna he had a decisive influence on Hayek, Machlup, Haberler, Morgenstern, and other fourth-generation Austrian economists.

The most powerful case against the American central bank ever written. This work begins with a mini-treatment of money and banking theory, and then plunges right in with the real history of the Federal Reserve System. Rothbard covers the struggle between competing elites and how they converged with the Fed.

Denaţionalizarea banilor reprezintă una dintre lucrările economice fundamentale ale lui F. A. Hayek. Imediat după apariţia primei ediţii, în 1976, cartea a revoluţionat gândirea economică, aducând în atenţia cercetătorilor problema instituţiilor monetare optime.

Henry Hazlitt (1895–1993) a fost una dintre cele mai strălucite minţi ale secolului XX. Scriitor, economist, filosof şi critic literar prolific, Hazlitt a fost un apărător neobosit al principiilor liberalismului clasic şi un adversar redutabil al etatismului, sub diversele sale forme – protecţionism, socialism sau keynesism.

This is the essay that overthrew the socialist paradigm in economics, and provided the foundation for modern Austrian price theory. When it first appeared in 1920, Mises was alone in challenging the socialists to explain how their pricing system would actually work in practice.

This might be Mises's best-selling book. This new release is certainly the most beautiful edition to appear yet. It is a very clear explanation of the basics of economic policy: private property, free trade, exchange, prices, interest, money and inflation, socialism, fascism, investment, and much more. As Mises discusses each topic, he addresses the many merits of market institutions and the dangers of intervention.

A definitive defense of the methodological foundations of Austrian economics. Hoppe sets the praxeological view (economics as a purely deductive science) against positivism, while taking the critics of the Austrian approach head on.

"Do not steal" is an excellent principle of ethics; it is also the first principle of sound economic systems. In our time, no one has done more than Hans-Hermann Hoppe to elaborate on the sociological implications of this truth. And this is his great work on the topic.

The second edition of the fun and fascinating guide to the main ideas of the Austrian School of economics, written in sparkling prose especially for the non-economist. Gene Callahan shows that good economics isn't about government planning or statistical models. It's about human beings and the choices they make in the real world.

This collection of short, entertaining articles exposes how government interference with the economy violates individual liberty, leads to inefficiencies, and rewards special interests. Contributors include Murray Rothbard, Walter Block, David Gordon, Robert Higgs, and Tom Bethell.
