 THE AUSTRIAN SCHOOL
Hayek's macroeconomic theory had substantial consequences for Austrian economics.
This "abrasive" nature of the Austrian School ensured that it would be kept out of mainstream (read "Anglo-American") economics but it was also the glue that held the school together and forced it to solidify its distinctive theoretical ideas.
Mises's American offspring remained outside the economics mainstream and were coralled into a handful of universities, such as N.Y.U. and George Mason, where many of them are still concentrated today.

After studying law and economics in Vienna and Berlin, Dollfuß became secretary to the Lower Austrian Peasant Federation and, in 1927, director of the Lower Austrian chamber of agriculture.
Dollfuß rose rapidly in Austrian politics, serving as president of the federal railways in 1930 and as minister of agriculture from 1931.

The early development of the Austrian school of economics, and the intellectual battle waged between it and the German historical school are episodes in the history of thought which have been largely overlooked.
When one considers that economic laws such as those offered by Austrian political economy provided devastating critiques of government intervention in the economy, it is easy to deduce how a school of thought that rejects the validity of economic laws could be put to use for political ends.
The study of economics in the Second Reich was dominated by the so-called German historical school, which argued that economic theories could only be derived from experience, that is, from the study of history.

 Carl Menger: Information From Answers.com
The book caused a firestorm of debate, members of the Historical School of economics began to derisively call Menger and his students the " Austrian School " to emphasize their departure from mainstream economic thought in Germany.
In 1884 Menger responded with the pamphlet The Errors of Historicism in German Economics and launched the infamous Methodenstreit, or methodological debate, between the Historical school and the Austrian School.
During the course of his newspaper work he noticed a discrepancy between what the classical economics he was taught in school said about price determination and what real world market participants believed.

The year 1871, in which both Jevons’ Theory of Political Economy and Menger’s Grundsätze appeared, is now generally and with justice regarded as the beginning of the modern period in the development of economics."
Also, the "anti-economists" are not all wrong in their criticism of economics, a fact to which Coleman seems blind.
I thought the tie-in with the German Historical School was especially apt, since their greatest critics were the Austrian economists.

The Economic Subject and the Subject of Economics: Science, Politics, and the Evolution of Historical Economics in Germany, 1871-1914
lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">Although virtually forgotten by the mid-twentieth century, the political economists of the so-called “German Historical School” represented a particularly critical and influential strand of heterodox economics in the late nineteenth century.
Understanding the ideas and evolution of German historical economics helps re-contextualize the rise of neoclassical economic theory and contributes to our understanding of the implications of shifts away from broad conceptions of both individual motivations and the scope of economic science.

 Austrian Economics and the Political Economy of Freedom
T he revival of the modern Austrian school of economics may be said to have begun 30 years ago, during the week of June 15–22, 1974, when the Institute for Humane Studies sponsored a conference on Austrian economics for about 40 participants in the small town of South Royalton, Vermont.
The Austrian view of man refutes the positivist, historicist, and neoclassical conceptions of man as a mere physical, quantitative object, or as a passive subject controlled by the dark forces of history, or as a “dependent variable” in a system of mathematical equations.
The speakers at the conference were three other leading figures in Austrian economics: Ludwig M. Lachmann, who had studied with Hayek at the London School of Economics in the 1930s; Israel M. Kirzner, who had studied with and written his dissertation under Mises at New York University in the late 1950s;

Austrian analysis fell out of favor with the economics profession during the fifties and sixties, but the awarding of the Nobel Prize in economics to Hayek in 1974, coupled with the spread of Mises's ideas by his students and followers, led to a revival of the Austrian school.
Although Austrian economists are not alone in their methodological individualism, they do not stress the maximizing behavior of individuals in the same way as mainstream neoclassical economists.
The Austrian school of economics dates from the 1871 publication of Carl Menger's Principles of Economics (Grundsätze der Vokswirtschaftslehre).

 tomgpalmer.com: Austrian Economics Done Well (for non-Cultists)
I don't think that there is a discipline called "Austrian economics" (or "pure Misesian economics," God forbid) or, if there is, it has a status similar to that of phrenology or the divination of the future by reading the entrails of sacrificed animals or the flights of birds.
If "Austrian economics" is about the study of "Austrian ideas," then it is useless and uninteresting, except in so far as it is an example of intellectual history.
Everybody who’s interested in the insights of the “Austrian School” of economic thought should be gratified that those insights are being put to work enriching our knowledge of economic processes and advancing the science of economics.
