The metropolis on the east coast of the United States also attracted several thinkers of the Austrian School. After his emigration to the USA, Ludwig von Mises received a position here at New York University (NYU) as a privately funded visiting professor from 1945 to 1969, and in his seminars he trained a fourth and fifth generation of 'Austrians'. At an advanced age, Richard Schüller taught at the New School for Social Research as a visiting scholar from 1940 to 1952. Joseph Schumpeter spent a year as a visiting professor at Columbia University in 1913. Fritz Machlup was at NYU from 1971 to 1983. Stephanie Martha Braun held a professorship at Brooklyn College from 1947 to 1969 and, after her retirement, taught for a further twelve years as a visiting professor at NYU. After his retirement, Ludwig Lachmann worked as a visiting professor from 1974 to 1987, collaborating with Israel Kirzner. Kirzner had first been a student of Ludwig von Mises at NYU and later, as a professor from 1968 to 2001, continued the tradition of the Austrian School. Hans Sennholz also studied under Ludwig von Mises at NYU and was the first PhD student Mises supervised in the United States. Murray Rothbard was born in the Bronx in 1926, studied at Columbia University, and in the 1950s attended Mises's private seminar.
Where paths crossed in New York: teachers and students, Privatseminar members, colleagues, antipodes. Filter by relationship type and phase, with counts.
Lachmann came to know Mises' and Hayek's works around 1926 in Zurich; his market-process conception connects to Mises' praxeology. Personal participation in the Privatseminar in Vienna is NOT documented.
Translated numerous writings of Mises from German into English and thereby contributed substantially to the spread of Austrian monetary and business cycle theory in the English-speaking world.
Regarded as perhaps the most important Mises student in the New World; Rothbard deepened his teacher's approaches especially in the theory of money, monopoly, capital and interest.
Participant in the Mises-Privatseminar in New York, 1949–1959 (NYU phase), a direct continuation of the Viennese private-seminar tradition through Mises.
Participant in the Mises-Privatseminar at NYU from 1949 to the end of the 1950s, with activity into the 1970s.
Took his doctorate under Mises at NYU and became his successor there as the foremost representative of the Austrian tradition in the USA.
At New York University, in collaboration with Ludwig Lachmann, he offered a study programme in the tradition of the Austrian School, from which numerous economists emerged.
