The theory of consumer choice fills the opening chapters of any
micro-economic textbook. Yet, surprisingly, this position of
privilege has not translated into a flourishing of economic
research that is comparable to what has happened in other branches
of economic reasoning.
Starting with Menger, the Austrian economic tradition has always
shifted the focus of attention from the problem of equilibrium to
that of social order, to the evolution of norms, institutions and
practices that favor social cooperation and coordination. Within
this tradition competition and markets are not viewed as states,
but as processes in which change and errors occur and efficiency is
reached but also easily lost. The real economic problem becomes a
problem of knowledge ??? how it is discovered, how it is
transmitted. Consumers??? interactions and choices and actual
consumption practices play an important role in these evolving
forms of sociality. And it is within this framework, that allows
for experimentation and learning, that they should be studied.
Advances in Austrian Economics is now available online at
ScienceDirect ??? full-text online of volumes 2 onwards.
