Dear all,  
  
For a recent scholarship of the Austrian School of Economics, see, for  
instance, the following, in which one finds not only US, but also   
European contributions:   
  
Modern Applications of Austrian Thought, ed. by  
J. Backhaus, Routledge, 2005.  
  
Perhaps the introduction of the editor below might   
be somewhat related to the ongoing discussion on the list.  
Quote:  
  
"Austrian economics is often conceived as an ideology. People  
are thought to stir in the older mud of unintelligible writings, and   
henceforth disagree among another. It is also often said that  
Austrian economis is not empirical. With this book,  
I try to dispel all three of these notions."  
(Preface, xiv.)  
  
This seems to me   
an interesting and also fruitful research programme in the future.  
Of course I am not quite sure whether   
the empirical   
direction is thought to be relevant in the camp of the "Austrian"  
members of economics.  
  
A comment from a non-member of the camp,   
but still deeply involved in the study of Austrian School of Economics.
