AbstractThis paper focuses on the current situation and the historical development of Austrian Economics in Madrid. We will analyse the formation of this School as the result of the thesis defended by Joaquín Reig Albiol in the late fifties and the current economic debate surrounding the fractional reserve and other complex issues. In this half-century tour, we will explore three different generations of Austrian economists in Spain, whilst demonstrating that a distinct branch of the Austrian School is today live and well in Madrid. Eventually, we will discover how the Spanish Austrian economists have applied praxeology to contemporary political and economic problems and conclude that a vigorous and growing economic school of thought exists in Madrid.

In economic science dominate orthodox economics (mainstream economics respectively neoclassical economics). Despite its numerous intellectual failures, orthodox economics continue to prevail in teaching at universities. A certain alternative to orthodox economics is heterodox economics, which consists of three groups of theoretical approaches, represented by the Left-wing heterodoxy and Neo-Austrian school (we include them together in the Old heterodoxy) and the New heterodoxy. The objective of this article is to define the differences between orthodox economics and heterodox economics, to find common features of individual heterodox approaches and identify substantial differences between them and also highlight the relevance of these heterodox approaches from the point of view of the challenges we are facing today. A common characteristic of heterodoxy is the rejection of orthodoxy, especially its research methods. Heterodox economists reject the axiom that individuals are always rational, the concept of ‘homo economicus’, the application of a formal-deductive approach, the use of mathematical methods in cases that are not appropriate for this, and access from a closed system position. Heterodoxy is a very diverse theoretical tradition, and there are differences not only between the Left-wing heterodoxy, Neo-Austrian school and New heterodoxy, but also within these heterodox groups. They differ on specific topics they deal with and proposed solutions to socio-economic problems.

Nowadays the Austrian School enjoys high reputation in Italy: books by Mises, Hayek and other Austrian economists are constantly republished and reviewed with great interest, both inside and outside academic circles. The situation was very different decades ago, when just a few Italian economists devoted attention to the Austrian School. This work studies the reception of Austrian Economics in Italy, from the beginning to our days, so as to bring out, by way of comparison, relevant features of Italian economic culture. We will try to offer just an overview of the entire story, in an attempt to provide useful elements for a deeper analysis of further topics and periods.

The development of Austrian economics in the interwar period was marked by the contrast between its high esteem at the beginning of the 1930s and its dwindling influence throughout the remainder of the decade. A variety of reasons have been conjectured for this decline (and the eventual dissolution) of the Austrian school of economics (see Caldwell 1988, pp. 517–21). A rarely mentioned factor of a more sociological nature that may have contributed to or that at least indicated the school's decline was its loss of coherence during the late 1930s, when, as a consequence of the emigration of the most prominent members, Vienna lost its role as the Austrian school's main center of communication. Insofar as this lack of coherence led not just to diversity within a unifying framework but to crucial divergences among the school's leading members, this might help to explain why after 1945 the Austrians were no longer perceived as a distinct school—some parts of their thinking had been fused into the neoclassical mainstream and others had largely fallen into disregard.

There is a deep link between complexity economics and Austrian economics. Ideas of complexity were foundational in the work of Austrian economics from its generally recognized beginnings in the work of Carl Menger to the modern day, with Friedrich Hayek being probably the most important carrier of this theme in the school. Although interest in complexity economics among Austrians has waxed and waned over time, today such ideas are quite influential in the work of many Austrian economists. This chapter discusses the varieties of economic complexity and the connection with the Austrian school of economics from Menger to Hayek, as well as more recent developments of Austrian views on complexity.

In this paper I will try advertising from the point of view of the School of Austrian Economics. To do this, I will analyze the Mises’s comments in Hu-man Action about commercial propaganda, and also school important theo-ries, such as the Business Function, Dynamic Efficiency or Evolutionary Theory of Social Institutions. The aim is to check what relationship may be between these theories and the different definitions given about Advertising terms by some of the most important publishers of the moment. At the same time, it is intended to check whether advertising can be consistently explained with the Austrian theory. The Austrian School of Economics brings a human and real vision to the economical science, in which the individual and his actions are taken into account, starting all economic analysis from methodological individ-ualism, as are the individuals who by their actions give shape to the society. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach of the school one can perfectly under-stand the development of advertising. The spectacular increase in the market has caused that the number of companies offering products and services con-stantly grows, this growth binds a process of constant competition which has led the advertising to a continually evolve. This explanation of advertising, ac-cording to the Austrian School, fully agrees with the view of some of the lead-ing advertisers. In turn, this article is a direct criticism of the political propagan-da, in which the results cannot be experienced freely by society and whose consequences are disastrous for social coexistence, the peaceful development of the cooperation and coordination of the company and all necessary human progress. Following the study, it concludes that advertising can be perfectly studied from the point of view of the Austrian School of Economics, which al-lows not only understand the economic benefits of advertising but also the dangers of political propaganda. Key Words: Advertising, Political Propaganda, Creativity, Competence Resumen: En este trabajo voy a tratar la publicidad desde el punto de vista de la Escuela Austriaca de Economía. Para ello, analizaré los comentarios de Mises en la Acción Humana sobre la propaganda comercial, así como impor-tantes teorías de la escuela, como la de la Función Empresarial, la Eficiencia dinámica o la Teoría Evolutiva de las Instituciones Sociales. El objetivo es com-probar qué relación puede haber entre dichas teorías y las distintas definicio-nes dadas sobre términos publicitarios por algunos de los más importantes publicistas del momento. A su vez se pretende comprobar si con la teoría austriaca puede explicarse la publicidad de forma coherente. La Escuela Aus-triaca de Economía aporta una visión humana y real a la ciencia económica, en la cual el individuo y sus actos son tenidos en cuenta, partiendo todo el análisis económico desde el individualismo metodológico, puesto que son los individuos los que con sus actos dan forma a la sociedad. Gracias a la visión multidisciplinar de la escuela puede entenderse perfectamente el desarrollo de la publicidad. El aumento espectacular dado en el mercado ha hecho que el número de empresas oferentes de productos y servicios crezca constantemen-te, a este crecimiento se une un proceso de competencia constante que ha provocado que la publicidad vaya evolucionando continuamente. Esta explica-ción de la publicidad, acorde con la Escuela Austriaca, coincide plenamente con la visión de algunos de los más destacados publicistas. A su vez, en este artículo se realiza una crítica directa a la propaganda política, cuyos resulta-dos no pueden experimentarse libremente por la sociedad y cuyas consecuen-cias son nefastas para la convivencia social, el desarrollo pacífico de la coo-peración y coordinación de dicha sociedad y todo el necesario progreso humano. A raíz de lo estudiado, se concluye que la publicidad puede estudiar-se perfectamente desde el punto de vista de la Escuela Austriaca de Economía, lo cual permite no solo comprender las ventajas económicas de la publicidad sino también los peligros de la propaganda política. Palabras clave: Publicidad, Propaganda política, Creatividad, Competencia
