In a recent paper I'm actually seeing overlaps between Frankfurt School and Austrian School - coming to the conclusion that mid 20th century ideology on individual/collective clouded things. I'm interested in your recommendations on Austrian Crits of Habermas - I'm very new to the Austrians but I've been looking for an economics for about 6 or 7 yrs [I'm not an economist] and it looks like the Austrians are it - hence I'm on this site and reading some of your stuff - mainly influenced by JC. Can send you the recent paper or post it here if I can figure out how? Wish I had someone to teach me Habermas!

BTW, why do you ask when you yourself admit that he is indeed "lefty and muzzy"??? There are a number of Austrian-style critiques of Habermas out there, BTW.

Have you perchance read Habermas? touch to the left certainly and very very very fuzzy and difficult but I for one would not have learned any 'real' philosophy had I not been attempting to read him for some time. Foucault certainly has something to say - I'm not as tuned but the type of empirical work demanded by following him is also - well - difficult and very time consuming but produces some very rich findings. I'm a big Jurgen fan - always back up his corner. Dave The CMS Interest Group of the AOM has about 600 members and ran a good pre-AOM Conference Workshop - outside the usual AOM restrictions etc where participants actually had time to talk to each other and really discuss each other's papers. The 5th International CMS Conference is in Manchester in 2007 www.cms5.org Why not come along and we try to get the Austrian School and the Frankfurt School to take up where they left off over a half century ago?
