Commentary

Teaching libertarian principles at universities is often considered heterodox by those who shape mainstream academic discourse. Of course, many important ideas from the Austrian school of economics have been incorporated into curricula, among them the subjective theory of value, boom and bust cycles, and diminishing marginal utility. But liberty-oriented economic ideas, those that promote economic liberty over government intervention, are generally overlooked.
