Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 30 years have witnessed a revival of "Austrian" economic theory. This book looks at the larger "German" context, focusing on the early contributions to monetary and business cycle theory from Menger to Mises and Hayek, and considers how these debates influenced the course of later economic thought until today. Classical contributions of the lead figures including Schumpeter, Machlup and Neisser are re-examined, and also the connections with sociology Simmel and Weber and less-known key authors Albert Hahn; Wilhem Röpke and Carl Foehl are presented.
