Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-12 00:00:00 Rosanna Tejeda This book is essential for anyone interested in the origins of an economic theory that is philosophical (or logical; synthetic a priori) rather than empirical (synthetic a posteriori). I would also recommend complementing this book with Hoppe's Economic Science and the Austrian Method. The book starts from Menger's economics, and its relationship to Hegel's and Brentano's philosophy. Then goes to the second central figure of Austrian economics, Bohm-Bawerck. And ends with Mises' philosophy and economics. There's a bibliographical essay at the end which has a list of amazing books all around philosophy, and surprisingly, I liked the bibliographical essay more than the main book, even though I enjoyed the book every bit!
