Out of the following list, which speakers are Austrian?  Who are Chicago, Neo-Classical/Keynesian?

It seems as though most on the list are some form of libertarian, but the only Austrian that pops up, that I know of is Ron Paul.  I am sure there are a handful more...

I know that Boaz is a Catoite.  His Libertarianism: A Primer isn't that bad, though.  Actually gives due credit to Mises, Rothbard, and Rand.  Not sure about the rest, although I think they are all neo-classical or Chicago School.

Thanks for the response.  I was curious as to how pronounced Austrian Economics was in the libertarian world.  Judging from the blurbs about the speakers, it appears Austrians are still a minority.

If libertarians=leftist individualist anarchist agorists then Austrians might well be a majority.
