This book argues that the work of the Austrian economists,
including Carl Menger, Joseph Schumpeter, Ludwig von Mises and
Friedrich Hayek, has been too narrowly interpreted. Through a study
of Viennese politics and culture, it demonstrates that the project
they were engaged in was much broader: the study and defense of a
liberal civilization. Erwin Dekker shows the importance of the
civilization in their work and how they conceptualized their own
responsibilities toward that civilization, which was attacked left
and right during the interwar period. Dekker argues that what
differentiates their position is that they thought of themselves
primarily as students of that civilization rather than as social
scientists, or engineers. This unique focus and approach is related
to the Viennese setting of the circles, which constitute the heart
of Viennese intellectual life in the interwar period.
