Israel M. Kirzner and the Austrian Theory of Competition and Entrepreneurship, by Richard M. Ebeling, Freedom Daily, Aug 2001
"Besides Kirzner's influence through the originality and persuasiveness of his writings, in 1976 he founded an Austrian economics graduate study program at New York University that has helped to successfully train a new generation of Austrian economists." |
The Undiscountable Professor Kirzner, by Roger W. Garrison, The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty, Aug 1997
"Austrian macroeconomics is not the oxymoron that some have long suspected it of being. While those practitioners among us will quickly forgive Professor Kirzner for never crossing over into macroeconomics, they can offer nothing but praise for the job of bridge-building that he has done so well." |

Between Mises and Keynes: An Interview with Israel M. Kirzner, The Austrian Economics Newsletter, 1997
"As Mises used to say, it was the great contribution of the classical economists to enunciate the concept of economic law. There are, indeed, systematic consequences to our actions. If one accepts that economics is the study of those systematic consequences, one cannot live with a perspective that sees the world as so open-ended that anything is possible." |
