Forerunners of the Austrian School: The French Liberal School
Dec 15, 2018Tap to summarizeThe French Liberal School had been dominant through four generations because they were privately funded, but when the government intervened in the French universities the Liberal School lost its hold. Richard Cantillon, Etienne Bonnot de Condillac, A.R.J. Turgot, Jean-Baptiste Say, Frederic Bastiat, and Michel Chevalier were responsible for economic concepts such as opportunity cost, the entrepreneur as risk-bearer, monetary theory, cause and effect methodology, utility, economic liberalism, and Say’s Law. Both in Great Britain and the United States during 1870-1890, the French Liberal School was hated and denigrated. The American Economic Association was started in 1880. There was no room for the liberals. The History of Economic Doctrine, which appeared in 1947, claimed the French Liberal School, which they now called the Optimist School, had abandoned the task of scientific investigation. Lecture 1 of 10 from Joseph T. Salerno's Revisionist History and Contemporary Theory.
Transcribe →Economics and Public Policy
Aug 28, 2018Tap to summarize[Presented at the 2008 Rothbard Graduate Seminar. 28 minutes.] Free societies would have few economists - mainly educators. But, when government - or any other agency using violence - intervenes in the market, the usefulness of the economist expands. The problems become what the consequences of governmental acts will be. Bad policies - like Welfare Economics and Social Economics -were often supported simply because there was so little understanding of economics, at all. There are no mathematical constants in Austrian economics. They are qualitative not quantitative. A table sums up the differences between The Market Principle and The Hegemonic Principle. An Alice J. Lillie Seminar. This lecture covers pp. 1357-1369 in the Scholar's Edition of Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State.
