Description
The Austrian school of economics is characterized by a strictly deductive approach (as opposed to the historical aspects of other schools of economic thought) and is grounded firmly in the idea that a sound economy depends on allowing people to act freely. Serving as an introduction to Austrian economics by presenting the logical reasoning behind the discipline, this book begins with the "action axiom" (men will act) and from it deduces powerful theorems law of demand, how prices coordinate demand and supply, etc. The underlying fundamental lesson is that it is possible to think in a systematic way about economics. Written in understandable language with humorous touches, there are discussion/thought questions throughout (no answer key, though). 195 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
