Ludwig von Mises "Human Action" as a Textbook in Economics
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2010-11-62-82
Abstract
The author indicates shortcomings of the modern economics textbooks and surveys the contribution to economics made by Ludwig von Mises, the main representative of the Austrian school in the second half of the 20th century, and the impact of his magnum opus "Human Action" on the development of economic theory. The author summarizes the methodology of teaching economics (on the basis of "Human Action") he used in the Complutense University of Madrid.
