This book provides an overview of the evolution and theories of the
Austrian School of Economics and develops answers to current
economic questions and the pressing problems of the 21st century
from the Austrian perspective. Readers will learn about the
fundamental ideas of the Austrian School, the current state of
Austrian economics, and the intellectual figures and institutions
that sustain it as a vibrant intellectual movement. International
experts on Austrian economics cover topics such as the economic
impact of pandemics, trade blocs, federalism and European
integration, and the economic development of China. The book also
discusses the influence of the Austrian School on modern economic
thought and mainstream economics, as well as on policymakers. It
will appeal to students and scholars of economics and to anyone
interested in social and economic liberalism.
To celebrate the centenary of Hayek's birth, this timely book
gathers together a distinguished group of authors who celebrate his
work and pay testament to the vast scope of his ideas which span
across epistemology, economy, the history of ideas, legal theory
and cultural philosophy.The authors present an overview of the
intellectual influences and historical events which inspired Hayek
and examine the development of the idea of spontaneous order. They
also describe the reasons why Hayek rejected constructivism for a
more evolutionary approach in economics, political theory and legal
theory. They go on to examine the welfare state, probably the most
controversial area of Hayek's work. They then discuss the
neutrality of the state and the morality of cooperation in society,
the rule of law and constitution, and the concepts of the
totalitarian state and free society. Hayek's political thought is
applied to the issue of European federalism in the final part,
where it is argued that Hayek's integrated vision of law, economics
and history is what is required to enlighten us on the new state of
Europe. The authors show that Hayek's work is as relevant today as
ever. The book will be of great interest to scholars of liberal
political economy, law and economics and the history of ideas.
