Austrian Economics: A Primer offers a clear, accessible introduction to the Austrian School of economic thought for readers who care about liberty. Drawing on the ideas of Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard, Dr. John M. Cobin explains how markets coordinate human action, why central planning fails, and how sound money, free exchange, and limited government produce prosperity. Written for the interested layperson rather than the specialist, this primer breaks down subjective value theory, the business cycle, entrepreneurship, and the case against government intervention in plain language, making it an ideal starting point for anyone new to free-market economics.
