Austrian School: Part 2

Free Market Economics Season 1 Episode 4

Overview:
In lecture four, we continue our study of the Austrian School of Economics through the work of Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Israel Kirzner, focusing on economic calculation under socialism. We examine Mises’s argument that socialism cannot allocate resources rationally without market prices, Hayek’s explanation of how prices coordinate dispersed knowledge through spontaneous order, and Kirzner’s emphasis on entrepreneurial alertness and competition as a discovery process. The lecture concludes by highlighting how these Austrian economists demonstrated that markets succeed not through central planning but through the decentralized use of knowledge that no single authority could possess or coordinate.
