Kirzner on the Distinction between Equilibrium and Process

JUNE 07, 2012 by NICHOLAS SNOW

What is Austrian economics and how does it differ from other strands of neoclassical economics? These are question that anyone who has studied Austrian economics eventually gets asked. If you have ever had any trouble coming up with a satisfactory answer, fear no more. Israel Kirzner provides a nice short answer to both in today’s document (pdf). It is an outline for Professor Kirzner’s paper “Methodological Individualism, Market Equilibrium, and Market Process” (published in vol. 32 of Il Politico in 1967) and was provided for the September 1967 Mont Pelerin Society meetings in Vichy, France.

CURRENT ISSUE

June 2013

Cities are vast, complex orders that emerge from the voluntary actions of millions of people. In this issue, we take a look at them, from Sandy Ikeda's examination of the invisible blueprints that define cities, to Rod Lockwood's concept of a free city that could rescue Detroit, to Troy Camplin's theories of why cities exemplify the unity of paradox that defines beauty. Speaking of beauty, we reintroduce poetry to The Freeman. We also introduce The Arena, a monthly debate feature, and much, much more.Download Free PDF
