Janek Wasserman's study is learned and accessible, demystifying and elegant; above all, it corrects popular misconceptions about the origins and legacies of Austrian economics. -Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University Over more than a hundred years, the Austrian School of Economics was born, emigrated, split, revived and transformed. Janek Wasserman has done the impossible, producing a readable guide to the whole story while shirking none of the school's complexity. A serious achievement. -Quinn Slobodian, author of Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism Janek Wasserman deftly traces the filiation of Austrian economic ideas from the cafe culture of pre-war Vienna to the online universe of the contemporary alt-right. The result is a stimulating history of economists such as Mises and Hayek, and their influence on our era. Well-written, compelling, and entirely accessible, this book deserves a broad readership. -Robert Leonard, Universite du Quebec a Montreal [ . . . ] Wasserman has succeeded in providing a rich and worthwhile overview of Austrian economics. -D.
