Lachmann as Misesian?
Part of my goal in this blog will be
showing how Lachmann can be read in a Misesian light. Although the early
Lachmann is much more explicitly Misesian, the later Lachmann can be read this
way as well, to some extent. The later Lachmann can be seen as practicing the
historical side of Mises' Theory and History. Even his kaleidic society can be
taken as a sort of "what if?" historical exercise. Much of his early work also
fits into the history category since it is not praxeological in nature. Rather,
it attempts to understand how man can function in a changing environment.
