As of November 2026, Austrian economics has been mentioned in one podcast episode on NPR (Dec 2025).
The Austrian school of economics is a heterodox school of economic thought that advocates strict adherence to methodological individualism, which is the theory that social phenomena result primarily from the actions of individuals, each motivated by their own self-interest. Austrian-school theorists hold that economic theory should be exclusively derived from basic axioms of human action, known as praxeology, rather than primarily from statistical analysis.
