Why Austrian economics matters

Abstract. Economics, wrote Joseph Schumpeter, is «a big omnibus which contains many passengers of incommensurable interests and abilities». That is, economists are an incoherent and ineffectual lot, and their reputation reflects it. Yet it need not be so, for the economist attempts to answer the most profound question regarding the material world. Austrian School it not a field within economics, but an alternative way of looking at the entire science.
