NOTE What is the essence of Austrian Economics?

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.900
The essence of Austrian economics is that it's based on, in contrast to all other schools,

2
00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:12.600
including alleged free market schools of economics.

3
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:19.800
The Austrian economics is based on an analysis of individual action,

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.600
in other words, individuals doing things, having purposes and goals and pursuing them.

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:33.600
This immediately sets us apart because all the other schools of economics deal with aggregates, groups, classes,

6
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.600
hoes, one sort or another, without focusing on the individual first and building up from there.
