Sommario/riassunto

Why do social movements take the forms they do? How do activists' efforts and beliefs interact with the cultural and political contexts in which they work?

Sommario/riassunto

The Economics of Time and Ignorance is one of the seminal works in modern Austrian economics. Its treatment of historical time and of uncertainty helped set the agenda for the remarkable revival of work in the Austrian tradition which has led to an ever wider interest in the once heretical ideas of Austrian economics. It is here reprinted with a substantial new introductory essay, outlining the major developments in the area since its original publication a decade ago.
