Summary:

Can the Austrian School contribute to other economic schools of thought? This collection reveals the unexpected methodological similarities and philosophical interrelationship between Hayekian thought and Marxist and neoclassical theories. Unique in its approach, "Austrian Economics in Debate" seeks to initiate and establish a pattern of cross-fertilization between Austrian and ostensibly competing paradigms in contemporary economics. Contributors include Leland Yeager, Steve Fleetwood, Lawrence Moss and Richard Ebeling.
