ECON 412DD - Austrian Economics in History

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Economics

Description:

In Conceived in Liberty, Murray Rothbard explains why students should take yet another American history course, writing: "the survey studies of American history have squeezed out the actual stuff of history, the narrative facts of the important events of the past." What is generally left in many history courses are dates and compressed summaries. This course provides historical narrative, context and the causal links between past events in a way that allows students to interpret histories for themselves. However, like in all history courses, judgements were made to select and order historical facts. These judgements organize this course around the great conflict between liberty (freedom) and power (tyranny), a conflict that Rothbard says American revolutionaries understood with "crystal clarity."
