Teaching Austrian Economics to Graduate Students

|Peter Boettke|

This is a talk that I gave at UFM in June.  It is based on a paper that is forthcoming in a special issue of the Journal of Economics and Finance Education edited by Edward Lopez.

Great talk, Pete. I hope the symposium is published in JEFE soon. I should say that Josh Hall is the guest co-editor on the symposium, and it was Josh who conceived of the idea & organized the APEE sessions where the majority of the papers were first presented. Your paper is an instant classic. Thanks.

Professor Boettke,

That was another exceptional discussion. Whenever I want to get pumped up about economics I either read a little John Wooden or listen to one of your FEE lectures.I just finished with the comprehensive exams, so the stuff about building a successful career as an academic economist is especially relevant. Your insights have really inspired me the last several years. Thank you.
