Editorial Reviews

Review

"At a time when a lot of what economists produce is not useful to the understanding of reality, Kirzner's work is a great lesson in the way economics can contribute to the understanding of actual market phenomena.... Kirzner has immensely contributed to the resurgence of Austian ideas in the last decades, and this book is another instance of his invaluable contribution.."
-Frederic Sautet, "Ideas on Liberty
"A masterly essay...However much one may disagree with Profesor Kirzner on various points, one cannot but admire the painstaking skill in conceptual analysis he displays in this outstanding book. -The Mises Review, David Gordon, Vol. 7, No. 1, Spring 2001."
