It then examines in more detail the economic thought and economic policy prescriptions of leading Austrian economists in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Carl Menger, Eugene von Böhm Bawerk, Friedrich Wieser, Joseph Schumpeter and Friedrich von Hayek. The ideas of prominent economists who embraced the Austrian tradition, such as Knut Wicksell and Lionel Robbins, will also be canvassed.
