Abstract

The Austrian school of economics increasingly has become identified with antiwar groups. This is not due to religious or political views. Rather, the antiwar viewpoints of the Austrians come from the fundamental tenets of economics as expressed by the school’s founders and refined for 140 years. This article applies post-WWII Austrian thought to the subject of war.
