Resumo: Given the breadth of the ideas of the Austrian School of Economics and the numerous lengthy treatises across which those ideas are scattered, it is difficult to recommend an introductory text that conveys its definingcharacteristics. However, in this regard, Murray N. Rothbard’s rarely discussed Preface to Ludwig von Mises’s book Theory and History possesses considerable untapped potential. The Preface’s merits as an introductory reading stem not only from its persuasive summary of the praxeological method and the core arguments in its favor, amongst other distinguishing characteristics of the Austrian School, but also from its brevity and Rothbard’s stilistic clarity, which make it incredibly accessible to newcomers to Austrian ideas.

Sin embargo, el Prefaciodel libro de Ludwig von Mises, Teoría e historia, donde apenas se habla de Murray N. Rothbard, posee un potencial considerable sin explotar en este sentido. Los méritos del Prefacio como lectura introductoria se derivan no solo de su persuasivo resumen del método praxeológico y los argumentos centrales a su favor, entre otras características distintivas de la Escuela Austriaca, sino también de su brevedad y la claridad estilísticade Rothbard, que lo hacen particularmente accesible para los que recién están conociendo las ideas austriacas.Dada à amplitude das ideias da Escola Austríaca de Economia, e os numerosos e extensos tratadosem que elas estão distribuídas, não é fácil recomendar um texto introdutório que transmita de forma clara e rápida as características definitivas dessa escola de pensamento. No entanto, o prefácio de Rothbard à obra Teoria e história, de Ludwig von Mises, tem um grande potencial nesse sentido. Os méritos desse prefácio como leitura obrigatória derivam não só de seu resumo persuasivo do método praxiológico e dos argumentoscentrais em sua defesa, entre outras características distintivas da Escola Austríaca, mas também pela brevidadee clareza estilística de Rothbard, que o tornam particularmente acessível às pessoas interessadas em conheceras ideias austríacas.Instituto Mises Brasil2021-06-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistamises.org.br/misesjournal/article/view/135710.30800/mises.2021.v9.1357MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics; Vol. 9 (2021): Yearly Continuous PublicationMISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics; Vol. 9 (2021): Publicación Anual ContinuaMISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics; v. 9 (2021): Publicação Contínua2594-91872318-0811reponame:Misesinstname:Instituto Mises Brasilinstacron:IMBenghttps://revistamises.org.br/misesjournal/article/view/1357/706Copyright (c) 2021 MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economicshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPickering, George2022-03-07T18:46:27Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1357Revistahttps://revistamises.org.br/misesjournalPRIhttps://revistamises.org.br/misesjournal/oairevista@mises.org.br2594-91872318-0811opendoar:2022-03-07T18:46:27Mises - Instituto Mises Brasilfalse
