Abstract

Janek Wasserman's book is a solid intellectual history of the first generation of Vienna-educated economists, who gained influence in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and of their disciples, who eventually came to guide policy in the United Kingdom and the United States. Wasserman outlines their ideas in detail, but ends up showing us that in the minds of his Austrian protagonists, no actual Austrian school ever existed. (from the review).
