Austrian Economics Society

The Austrian Economics Society is a group dedicated to promoting and advancing the ideas of Austrian economics, a school of thought that emphasizes the role of individual choice, subjective value, and the importance of free markets. Originating in the late 19th century with economists like Carl Menger and Ludwig von Mises, it critiques government intervention and advocates for minimal state involvement in the economy. The society fosters research and discussion on economic theory, policy, and methodology, aiming to highlight the implications of Austrian principles for understanding human behavior and social institutions.
