米塞斯与奥地利学派经济学

Mises and the Austrian School of Economics

米塞斯与哈耶克是新奥地利学派的代表人物,哈耶克的国际学术声望和地位要高于米塞斯,但米塞斯却是当然的精神领袖。米塞斯培养出了第三代、第四代遵循和发展奥地利学派传统的经济学家,而且新奥地利经济学的几乎所有贡献或者始于米塞斯的著述,或者源于进一步发展其观点的努力。这些贡献对自由市场制度作出了不同于新古典主义经济学的解读。如果要想对市场之所以有效率的广泛基础和某些重要细节获得更好的理解,自然不能忽视米塞斯的贡献。

Mises and Hayek are representative figures of the new Austrian school. Although the international academic reputation and status of Hayek are higher than Mises, Mises is regarded as the spiritual leader of the school. He trained the third and the fourth generation of economists who follow and develop the traditions of Austrian school, and almost all contributions of the school begins from the books of Mises, or further development of his viewpoints. Different from New classical economics, these contributions give different understandings on free market system. The contributions of Mises cannot be neglected if we want to have a better understanding on the basis and some important details of market efficiency.
