Early Austrian Economics

Excellent Early History of Australian Economics

Israel Kirzner did a great job at giving the listener of this audiobook, a solid basic view of how, and by whom the Australian school of economics came to be. Also note worthy, is the great job Louis Rukeyser did in the reading of text.

An OK Summary

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This book is a summary of early Austrian economic historical figures. I learned some new names and may pursue some of them. I was hoping for more detail on their ideas. As an introduction to those who fathered Austrian economic theory it's OK.

How could the performance have been better?

Using speakers with Austrian accents was a distraction that made the message hard to follow. Mr. Rukeyser is one of the best narrators around. He should have read the whole book.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Kirzner

Kirzner is an excellent scholar.

The fake accents in the reading are a weak point of an otherwise good book.
