Abstract

Since its founding father Carl Menger published Principle of Economics in 1871, the Austrian school of economics focuses their analysis on areas such as exchange and market process, the structure of production, entrepreneurship, business cycle, monetary theories, economic calculation and central planning 1 The Austrian school of economics does not discuss economics of innovation, though there is a theory of entrepreneurial discovery.
