The Economics of Ignorance and Coordination
This book clarifies the specific nature of the Austrian theory and
restores the unity and open-mindedness of the Austrian school in
general. The intention is not to offer a collection of different or parallel
ideas, but rather to retrace, from a pedagogical and constructive
perspective, the various stages of the construction of a well-founded
theoretical edifice: from
Ludwig
von
Mises
to Murray
Rothbard,
from
Friedrich
Hayek to Israel Kirzner and from
Lachmann
to Lavoie.
The book is
a reconstitution
of the way Austrian ideas and concepts
organize themselves in a common structure.
Providing a clear distinction between economic analysis and doctrine,
this in-depth and unified theoretical book will be valuable to
postgraduate students and researchers of economics. It is a great
introduction to major Austrian theories including money, the firm,
cognitive psychology, comparative economic systems and economic
information.
Thierry Aimar is Assistant Professor of
Economi
Paris and the University of Nancy
2
and is at the Paris
1 Pantheon-
Sorbonne
and the ESSEC Business School Paris, France.
