Who are the prominent economists working today in the Austrian tradition?
Who are the leading lights in economic theory working right now?
In New Zealand:
The Coastguard is a Charity
Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
The DMV is a private non-profit
Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
A tax return has 4 fields
Business licenses aren't a thing
Prostitution is legal
We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care
I do not just generally read random economists because it is all very boring and I am not really going to learn anything . If you go to Policy of Liberty there should be a list of free market economists and champions of liberty titled something like Important Free Market Economists - Policy of Liberty , policyofliberty/net/economists.html
Do something Danke
Visit Mises.org, you will find a lot of their articles there. Walter Block, Ropert Murphy, to name a fewOriginally Posted by idiom
That's a good question.
I'm not aware of anyone doing serious scholarly work at the moment.
The guys at the LvMI are working on popularizing the ideology AFAIK.
I tend to focus on the classics.
For some fairly recent grade-A work I'd suggest Israel Kirzner, a student of Mises and very serious economist.
His major works aren't all that new, but they're newer than Mises' anyway.
I am reading The Marginal Revolutionaries: How Austrian Economists Fought the War of Ideas Hardcover by Janek Wasserman which an interesting overview of the tradition. Just wondering what the contemporary work looks like.
I also note I haven't seen Schumpeter discussed around here much, or Drucker.
Mariana Mazzucato is looking interesting. I have her books but I haven't read them yet.
